The Oldest Traces of Alcoholic Beverages in the Border Zone of the North and East European Plains
Analysis of organic compounds preserved on pottery from the Bell Beaker community and the initial phase of the Trzciniec Cultural Sphere in the border zone of the Eastern and North European Plains was prompted by traces of alcoholic beverages found in contextually and formally analogous discoveries of more westerly provenance. Gas chromatography combined with mass spectrometry enabled the calculation of fatty acid ratios to distinguish plant and …
The use of flints in prehistory and modern times on open air sites from sandy lowlands. The case of the site Żanęcin 9, Wiązowna commune, Mazowieckie voivodship
Open-air archaeological sites situated on dunes near various rivers are characteristic of the Polish lowlands. Excavations at these sites typically yield chronologically and culturally diverse artefacts made of non-organic materials, such as fired clay or stone. Assigning these artefacts to specific chronological-cultural units is often challenging due to the absence of a clear stratigraphic context. An additional complication arises from the geo…
Raw material preferences within ornament production in the Late Neolithic amber workshops of Żuławy Wiślane in Northern Poland
In the 3 rd millennium BC, amber ornaments became widespread across Central Europe. In the basin of the Vistula and Oder rivers, such artefacts are known from five Late Neolithic archaeological cultural units (the Globular Amphora Culture, the Złota Culture, the Rzucewo Culture, the Corded Ware Culture and Bell Beaker Culture). Amber objects have been recovered, on the one hand, from both the graves of the aforementioned archaeological cultural u…
A unique funerary and ritual complex at the border zone of the Northern and Eastern European Plains as a record of cultural and social changes at the turn of the Neolithic and Bronze Age
In the 3rd millennium BC, the area of the Masurian Lake District, located at the border zone of the North and Eastern European Plains, was still dominated by hunter-gatherers. It was then that the Late Neolithic farming and pastoralist communities reached the region, where cultural and social changes were initiated. Tracing these changes is possible through an analysis of the unique funerary and ritual complex on the island of Lake Lanskie. Buria…

Bell Beakers in the Masurian Lake District in north-eastern Poland – relics and identification issues
Until the beginning of the 21 st century it was believed that the north-eastern border of Bell Beaker influence reaches the Vistula River basin. Recent discoveries in the North Podlachian Lowland provided grounds for verification of this belief, particularly with regards to the Masurian Lake District, which used to be considered as a territory of intensive activity of the Iwno Culture – a propagator of Bell Beaker influence in this part of Europe…
Practical, Visual, or Ritual? Ground Flint Arrowheads from Bell Beaker Features in North-Eastern Poland
At Supraśl 3 in north-eastern Poland, four Bell Beaker features contained small quantities of burnt and highly fragmented human and animal bones and various, mostly fragmented, artefacts. These assemblages included twenty-four flint arrowheads, most of which bore traces of grinding, though not all were ground to the same extent. A comprehensive macroscopic and microscopic analysis was undertaken to determine the process of shaping these arrowhead…
Bell Beaker Cultural Package in the East European Periphery of the Phenomenon
The Bell Beaker (BB) cultural package is one of the concepts explaining the extensive diffusion of this phenomenon in Europe. Artefacts associated with the package, discovered mainly in the graves of men, form groups defining the status of the deceased. The BB package is a dynamic turn of events, changing depending on the region, but preserving certain characteristic traits. The complete set of its initial ingredients was not copied in any locati…
A Ritual Feature with Bell Beaker Elements in a Late Neolithic Hunter-Gatherer Campsite in North-Eastern Poland
The ephemeral nature of religious practices and rituals makes them challenging to trace in the archaeological record of Late Neolithic hunter-gatherer communities in central and eastern Europe. A ritual feature with Bell Beaker elements discovered in north-eastern Poland, a region occupied by hunter-gatherer groups of the Neman cultural circle, is thus exceptional. Its syncretic character indicates its role as a harbinger of wider cultural change…
