Zusammenfassung In der zweiten Hälfte des 6. Jahrtausends v. Chr. wanderten die ersten mit Bandkeramik verbundenen Bauern aus und ihre Kultur verbreitete sich in Gebiete nördlich Karpaten. Bisher hatte man angenommen, dass diese frühneolithische Ausbreitung einen Zeitraum um ca. 5500–5400 fällt, was vor allem auf vergleichende Studien stilistischen Merkmale Keramik stützte. Seit einiger Zeit gibt es jedoch bei zahlreichen Forschern Zweifel, ob Art Dekoration Gefäße absoluten Daten...
The appearance of the Linear Pottery Culture (LBK) on Poland territory initiated process neolithization in area. However, as we will see this article, colonization took place later than previously thought. stage, which is called early phase, actually corresponds only to Fomborn/Ačkovy stage LBK, and earliest dating currently indicates around 5350 BC. Due small number sites from phase excavated a large scale Poland, culture's development poorly known. Gwoździec Project focused LBK settlement...
Trenčianske Bohuslavice Gravettian site has been known since the early 1980s, with possibly longest sequence of Upper Palaeolithic human occupation in region, including a peculiar assemblage lithic tools composed bifacial leaf points. This paper presents results 2017 excavation season that produced new data on absolute chronology, stratigraphy, paleobotany, archaeology, and archaeozoology site. We found earliest most probably belongs to Aurignacian. is followed by two Late layers layer...

The aim of this paper is to present new data on the use plants and flint management by Funnel Beakersocieties. Studies usewear residues tools from Polwica-Skrzypnik site complex located in SW Poland included microscopic analyses traces, starch phytoliths, adhesives. According analysis, most were used as sickle inserts. production sickles was mainly based goodquality imported material, but local groups also supplemented their needs with flint. identified phytoliths can be assigned grass sedge...
The authors describe a Neolithic ground stone adze, retrieved from an Early Iron Age burial ( c . 700–550 BC) at the urnfield cemetery in Miłosławice, south-western Poland. This artefact yields interesting example of extended tool biography.
Abstract The multi-faceted analyses proved that the community of early Iron Age settlement (7 th century BC) at Milejowice in SW Poland used easily accessible, erratic pebbles similar shapes for various purposes. Referring to results our experimental work, we examined a collection 46 stone objects found contexts. Using microscopic analysis use-wear, identified handstones grinding grain and plant stalks also pottery production (grog obtaining) decoration (red pigment powdering). Some served...
Trapezoidal flint microliths have been attributed to various early agricultural cultures in Central Europe. They are found both settlements and cemeteries. The cemetery of the Lublin-Volhynian Culture Książnice, Site 2, one two biggest necropolises younger Danubian southern Poland, has provided greatest number trapezes. Use-wear analysis revealed manner which trapezes were used shed some light on reasons for presence these artifacts graves. Microliths differ terms their shapes, production...
Abstract The evolution of Neolithic to Bronze Age settlement organization in Central Europe has revealed ditches as an important component structures. various shapes and sizes these features contribute different understandings their functions, mainly referring elements fortifications or ritual practices. Based on a newly discovered Copper feature at Kamianets-Podilskyi (Tatarysky), Ukraine, our paper contributes the discussion function relation prehistoric technologies. This study presents...
Museum collections contain numerous finds that are considered low-quality data and do not attract the proper attention of researchers. The most common reason is uncertain context or lack other precise identification. main aim this paper to increase scientific value so-called stray finds. collection Neolithic stone tools from two museums was subjected multifaceted analysis combined with detailed archival research. results allowed us address important aspects. At level objects, use microscopic...
This article presents the study of a unique artefact in form very large trapezoidal axe-head with rectangular section from Słupów, Lesser Poland, against background Eneolithic phenomena occurring area. The specimen is collection Archaeological Museum Kraków since 1929, but has not been discussed until now. It was made by local communities flint G variety, raw material exploited groups western Poland. Słupów one largest axes to have discovered on Polish lands. find provokes broader discussion...
Zusammenfassung Der vorliegende Artikel befasst sich mit zwei gänzlich unterschiedlichen Bestattungsarten, die vom archäologischen Standpunkt der gleichen „Kultur“ angehören und höchstwahrscheinlich auch im Hinblick auf Chronologie sehr vergleichbar sind. Die Unterschiede schließen sowohl Grabkonstruktionen als Wahl Grabbeigaben ein sind Beweis für Vielfalt Ansätze Bestattungsritual. Alle angesprochenen Gräber befinden dem zur Schnurkeramischen Kultur rechnenden Fundplatz Magnice...
In 2017, a man fishing in the Oder River accidentally discovered an antler-base axe village of Domaszków, Lower Silesian Voivodeship. In-depth study included analysis traces on its surface, radiocarbon dating and paleogenetic analysis, concluded with tool’s conservation. Most casting light techniques used crafting had been eroded by intensive water action. The was made from unshed red deer antler. Among preserved marks we note pointed depressions during separation antler beam, where brow bay...
