This paper presents four Złota Culture (ZC) niche graves from site 2 in Książnice, and discusses the chronology of the cemetery based on both radiocarbon dates obtained for all the burials and analysis of the ceramics. Separate articles published in this volume deal with the anthropological, archaeozoological and palaeobotanical analyses of the prehistoric material from the site. The ceramic inventories from the graves at Książnice lack CWC characteristics suggesting that graves 1, 2 and 4 ZC belong to the very beginnings of the classical phase of the ZC, when CWC features, including imported pottery, had not yet appeared. Moreover, there are no references to the Baden Culture in the assemblage discussed here. Grave 3 ZC, with pure GAC pottery should be considered as the oldest one, dating to the early phase of the ZC
