Biography edit
Kozłowski studied archaeology at the University of Warsaw from 1956 to 1961, where he later earned his doctorate in 1967. His doctoral dissertation, supervised by Prof. Waldemar Chmielewski, focused on the Mesolithic period in Małopolska. In 1971, he obtained his habilitation degree based on his research on the prehistory of Polish territory from 9,000 to 4,000 BCE. He became a professor at the University of Warsaw in 1981.[1][2][3][5]
Kozłowski led archaeological expeditions in Poland and Iraq, focusing on the Stone Age, particularly the European Mesolithic and early Neolithic. He chaired the Mesolithic Commission of the International Union for Prehistoric and Protohistoric Sciences (UISPP) from 1976.[1][7][3][5]
