Linear Pottery Culture pottery workshop in the Upper Vistula River basin
Ceramics, as the first fully artificial material created by humans, serve as a sensitive indicator of technological and socio-cultural processes in prehistory. Analysis of the operational sequence ( chaîne opératoire ) reveals the level of technical knowledge and internal organization of past communities, while technological and stylistic variability in pottery reflects both social boundaries and mechanisms of knowledge transmission and cultural …
Radiocarbon Chronology of the post-LBK Malice Culture in Lesser Poland
A series of new radiocarbon dates from Neolithic Malice Culture (MC) sites in Lesser Poland allow for making significant corrections in the absolute chronology of this culture. Bayesian modelling of a series of MC dates made it possible also to specify the absolute chronology of individual phases of the development of this culture. The early classic phase (MC1a) is around 4800-4700 BC, the classic phase (MC1b) between 4700 and 4450 BC, and the la…
Great Transformation on a Microscale
The aim of the article is to characterize the well-recognized early Neolithic settlement region of Targowisko in SE Poland. It is located in southern Poland, on the northern outskirts of Western Carpathians, 30 km to the east of Krakow. It functioned throughout the development of the entire Linienbandkeramik and the subsequent Malice culture, in the period from 5300 to 4500 BC. The analysis of the settlement and internal colonization processes of…
The origin of the trough retouch in the Lublin-Volhynian culture
The technique of trough retouch played a key role in the Lublin-Volhynia culture as the most expressive technology of co-shaping the edges of flint tools. An important role is played by the so-called retouched blade-daggers, produced using this retouching technique. They werepart of the equipment for the graves of men considered to be members of the local elite.They appeared in a similar context only in the early Eneolithic Skelya culture in the …
The Early Neolithic Cultural Transformation in the Targowisko Settlement Region, SE Poland
The aim of the article is to characterize the early Neolithic settlement region of Targowisko in SE Poland. It is located on the northern edge of the Western Carpathians, 30 km east of Krakow. It functioned during the development of the entire Linear Pottery culture (LBK) and the subsequent Malice culture (MC), in the period from 5300 to 4500 BC. The focus was on the cultural transformation at the turn of the 6 th to the 5 th millennium BC. Cases…
Culture transformation in Targowisko microregion. Trends of changes inside Danubian farmers
The aim of this article is to deepen the discussion on the nature and mechanisms of culture change based on the analysis of newly acquired materials from the Targowisko settlement region. Three groups of materials were acquired (from narrow time horizons) related to the single-phase relics of Linienbandkeramik (Brzezie, site 40 and Targowisko, site 16) and Malice culture houses (Targowisko, site 14-15). The absolute chronology of the beginning of…
The environmental context of Early Neolithic cultural transformation in the Targowisko settlement region
The aim of this article is to provide information on environmental changes in the Targowisko region in the Early Neolithic as a natural response to settlement and economic activity of the human population in that area. The discussion is based on lithological, geochemical, and palynological analyses, as well as the analysis of Cladocera within strata inside the TRG (Targowisko) core, located in a small wetland in the immediate vicinity of the east…
Some remarks on climate impact on prehistoric societies
In some archaeological studies there is a tendency emphasize climate with special strength as a driving force of cultural change in studies covering larger areas over longer periods of time. Migrations are often linked to climate change. In contrast, in small-region studies, researchers are more likely to explore internal factors of change, such as inequality and conflict. On the other hand, in publications postulating the impact of climate on ch…
The Concept of the ‘Stage of Reduction and Concentration of Settlements’ in Neolithic Studies
The paper analyses the meaning of the ‘stage of reduction and concentration of settlements’ and its place in the evolving structure of a Neolithic settlement system. It considers whether this stage of the development of the settlement system was a specific event, limited only to the evolution of a Funnel Beaker Culture settlement in south-eastern Poland, or whether it was a structural element in other areas too. Analysis of the collected cases, r…
Janusz Kruk’s settlement archaeology
The settlement network and material remains of the south-eastern group of the Funnel Beaker culture play an important role in Janusz Kruk’s settlement archaeology. In the context of that group and the entire culture, the settlement complex in Bronocice may be considered as the icing on the cake. This is a sufficient reason to attempt a reconstruction of that trend in research in the present volume. I have already proposed an interpretation of Jan…
The Process of Neolithisation in South-Eastern Poland – Selected Problems
The article is devoted to a critical discussion of the current concepts of the Neolithisation of Polish lands – from the migration models of colonisation to those that do not exclude the participation of the indigenous Mesolithic population in this process. None of the cited concepts explores the socio-cultural, internally conditioned, mechanisms of this epochal change. In the context of these mechanisms, one should look for the necessary and suf…

The technology of LBK ceramics in eastern Romania
The paper shows selected aspects of the technology of ceramic production within the Linear Pottery culture (LBK) in eastern Romania. The authors present the results of mineralogical and petrographic analyses which have covered 23 ceramic samples from that area. Together with the analysis of 6 samples from the neighbouring Republic of Moldova, the research has provided the basis for more general conclusions concerning prehistory. The results of th…
The selection of ceramic raw material
This paper reconstructs the rules governing the selection of ceramic raw material and considers certain technological aspects of the production of ceramic vessels in some Danubian cultures around the Carpathians in the Neolithic. The analysis encompassed more than 500 samples of ceramics produced by various cultural units across different chronological horizons. The results of the analysis are used to verify several hypotheses concerning the rela…

About the Chronology of the Beginning of the Metal Ages
This article discusses the cases of the Bayesian analysis of series of AMS radiocarbon indications that modify our knowledge of the relative and absolute chronology of the Copper Age in the Great Hungarian Plain and the beginning of the Bronze Age in southern Germany and Central Europe. The results of relevant analyses have been reported as well as their importance for better understanding of the determinants of chronological and periodization pa…
Procesy eneolityzacji Europy – wybrane zagadnienia
E. Neustupný suggested using a term “Eneolithic” instead of the copper age and replacing its distinctive raw material criterion (copper) by a complex of cultural, social and economic elements. Importantly he recognized the emergence of the plough in agronomy instead of burning techniques, the replacement of large settlements by smaller ones, burying the dead in cemeteries on land outside the inhabited areas and the strengthening role of the male …

Social Structures and Social Evolution Among Early Bronze-Age Communities in South-Eastern Poland
The Mierzanowice culture evolved in the early Bronze Age north of the Carpathians. By looking at settlement geography, it is proposed here that the people of the Mierzanowice culture practised arable agriculture and stock rearing in equal measure, and that they lived in micro-regions, defined by two or three main, peramanent settlements and a number of smaIl short-lived settlements and camps for exploiting local flint resources and pasturage. The…
Iwanowice, Babia Góra site
Between 1967 and 1979 the Institute of History of Material Culture of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the State University of New York at Buffalo carried out a joint programme of archaeological field research on Neolithic and early Bronze Age (EBA) sites in southeastern Poland. As part of this programme in 1967-9 and 1971-3 Professor Jan Machnik conducted archaeological investigations at Iwanowice on a wedge-shaped elevation known as Babia Gór…
