Since 2024, KAFU has been supporting the research project of Agata Chilińska-Früboes, “Fibulor – The Unknown Oscar Almgren Archive.” The aim of the project is the scholarly study of part of the previously unknown archive of Oscar Almgren (1869–1945), one of the most renowned European archaeologists.
The focus of this study is Almgren’s notes on fibulae from the Pre-Roman, Roman, and Migration periods, which he compiled as part of his material collection for his doctoral dissertation. His typology of fibulae—one of the most important find categories of the Iron Age—remains valid and in use to this day.
Other KAFU members involved in the project are Anna Bitner-Wróblewska, Audronė Bliujienė, and Heino Neumayer.
