The last report session of the Institute of Archaeology of the University of Warsaw (3–6 December 2013) began exceptionally with a day devoted to the memory of Professor Tomasz Mikocki (1954–2007), an eminent classical archaeologist and for many years the Director of the IA UW. A part of the event was a special ceremony of giving the Professor’s name to the Regional Museum in Kozienice, his hometown (fig. 1). The actual ceremony was preceded by a morning academic session (held in theconferenceroom of the City hall), with papers delivered by colleagues and students, members of the Professor’s closest circles (fig. 2). During a break in the report session, a delegation from the IA UW and other participants of the conference laid flowers on the grave of Professor T. Mikocki in the local cemetery.
