part of Stargard fortifi cations. An array of fi nds was discovered inside: a jett on, Apfelpfennig of Jorg Schultes
from Nuremberg, samples of architectural detail, and modern ceramics. On the basis of dendrochronlogical
analysis of pillar foundations it was established that the basion was built in the 1520s. Th e structure was a part
of the modernization of Stargard fortifi cations at the end of the 15th and the fi rst quarter of the 16th century.
It was at that time that sections of city walls and towers as well as fortifi cations allowing the use of artillery
during defence operations: brick bastions, roundels and earthwork walls were modernised. Early modern
fortifi cations of which major parts survived down to our times are unique in Western Pomerania.
