In most periods of European prehistory population was organized into local segments which can be called communities irrespective of what meaning is ascribed to this concept. The reality of prehistoric communities is best born out by the discontinuous distribution of both cemeteries and habitation sites in the country. The fact that the archaeological records seem to suggest spatial continuity in some regions is mostly due to our inability to classify the finds in accordance with a sufficiently fine chronological scheme. In cases where fine chronology can be applied - and Bohemia is one of the possible examples - it becomes clear that the seeming spatial continuity of the record is a consequence of our projecting many discontinuous patterns into one plane - the landsc ipe of today as archaeologists perceive it
