Tadeusz Czesław Malinowski (8 April 1932 – 20 December 2018)[1] was a Polish scientist and archaeologist specialising in the Bronze Age and early Iron Age.
Early life and education
Born in Poznań, Poland, Malinowski was the son of Czesława Malinowska (born Brożek) and Czesław Pobóg Malinowski. His brother is Andrzej Paweł Malinowski, a Polish anthropologist.
As a child, Malinowski witnessed the Second World War. After his father escaped to the United Kingdom and his mother was arrested by the Gestapo, he lived through the Nazi occupation of Poland with his extended family in Radom and Lublin.[2]
He studied archaeology at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, where he received his doctoral title in 1960 and his habilitation in 1969. His main teachers were Józef Kostrzewski, Witold Hensel, and Eugeniusz Frankowski. By the time he received his doctorate, he had written 47 scientific publications.[2] In 1980, he became a professor.
Career
He worked in the Museum of Archaeology in Poznań from 1950 to 1975, as a professor at the Higher Pedagogical School in Słupsk until 1993, and at the University of Zielona Góra until 2002. He lectured in the Department of Archaeology at the University of Łódź from 1973 to 1974, at the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography of the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń from 1979 to 1980, and at the School of Social Skills in Poznań from 2002 to 2004.[2]

Malinowski has participated in numerous archaeological excavations in Greater Poland and beyond. He was a member of a team that researched an early settlement in Saint-Jean-le-Froid, France, in the department of Aveyron.[citation needed] In Poland, he has studied fortified settlements from the early Iron Age in Słupca, Smuszewo, and Komorowo. He also worked on a late medieval cemetery on Rowokół hill in Smołdzino, and on an early medieval cemetery in Komorowo.[3]
He was the author of over 380 scientific and popular publications, including more than a dozen books published in Poland and abroad.[4] After he retired, his extensive collection of books (several thousand volumes), illustrative material (photographs and drawings), and slides were purchased by the University of Rzeszów for its Institute of Archaeology.
As a professor emeritus, Malinowski lived in Poznań, where he reviewed doctoral works and habilitations and continued his scientific research and writing.
Scientific research
Malinowski's research mainly dealt with Central European funeral rites in prehistory and the early Middle Ages. He also studied the meaning of amber in prehistory and the early Middle Ages in Europe, facial representations in ceramic rituals in prehistorical Europe, and musical instruments from prehistory to modern times in Central Europe. Further, he worked on Slavic ethnogenesis issues and conducted interdisciplinary research in prehistory. Through 25 years of work at the Museum of Archaeology in Poznań, he specialised in archaeological museology.[2]

He was married to archaeologist Maria Malinowska (born Konieczna in 1932 in Poznań). They have a daughter, Anna, and a son, Antoni.
