Around 5500 BC the first wave of the LBK culture societies came to the area of black soils in Kujavia. What is interesting is that materials of this culture are also registered in conditions untypical of this culture, where geological substrate is formed by sand, and farming usability of soils was, and still is, not great. This paper aims at summarizing the present state of research and outlining present-day opportunities of interpretation. This work is also part of a broader scientific programme connected with recognition of the history of the Neolithic occupation in the valley of Tążyna river — one of the Vistula tributaries

The ways of dealing with the dead and the relationship the living had with death are one of the key elements constituting every culture. The present article is inspired by the terror management theory and it attempts to adapt it to the conditions of the Middle Neolithic Kuyavia. The area was inhabited by societies which fundamentally followed different sepulchral patterns. The author of the paper aims to outline the position of funerary behaviours in the rhythm of cultural transformations of that time

The aim of this paper is to re-evaluate two megaliths — tomb 8 at Sarnowo and tomb 1 at Świerczynek. A starting point for analysis is the presentation of the conceptions of a palimpsest and perspectivism, which, in this case, are effective analytical tools. The general conclusion, resulting from the present work, is the long duration and variety of forms of the use of the megaliths.

In this paper the author concentrates on the problem of the occurrence of clay plates within the region of the Polish Lowland. The sources are findings known from the literature as well as those excavated recently. Comparative analyses related territorially to Europe and chronologically to the period 4400-3800 BC.

The article presents the results of the study of the Funnel Beaker culture settlement at site Polesie 1, com. Łyszkowice. There have been recognised very damaged remnants of a settlement and campsites of Neolithic communities. The author of the study links them to the process of colonisation, which had started in Kujawy or eastern Wielkopolska.

“Invisible tombs”. From the research on funerary rituals of communities with funnel beakers

The aim of this paper is to present issues connected with “invisible” (from an archaeological point of view) tombs of the circle of cultures with funnel beakers. Four examples were selected to illustrate this problem. They are associated with discoveries on the following sites: Niedźwiedź, Zauschwitz, Bochum-Hiltrop and Schipluiden. Bedding trenches, forming structures in the shape of trapezes – rectangles were discovered on them. They were all originally interpreted as relics of long houses. Only the recent studies indicate their connection with the long tombs tradition. The author presents a thesis that the title “invisibility” of these structures is not due to its state of preservation. It is rather a result of oversimplifying criteria of interpretation. It is probable that next discoveries of tombs of the type described in the paper will be associated with reinterpretation of the already known objects, but considered as houses.

The aim of the present paper is to present two water wells from a settlement of the LBK culture at the site of Kruszyn 3/10, Włocławek commune. The features under consideration are dated to phase IIB of this culture in Kuyavia. They represent the simplest, timberless types of devices which were used to supply water. The author also pays attention to non-utalitarian aspects connected with cult and ritual meaning of water wells in the LBK societies.

The Tążyna river is one of not large Kuyavian tributaries of the Vistula river. A unique feature of this river catchment area is a very high degree of biodiversity. It comprises, among others, the co-occurrence of zones of various lithology and genesis (morainic plains, valleys with outwash plain formations, outwash plains with holes) and relatively shallow occurrence of salt deposits supplying the groundwater with brine. They are accompanied by the occurrence of halophytes. The discussed region also abounds in numerous archaeological sources dated to the Neolithic. They document complicated processes of the Tążyna basin domestication. They were initiated by the appearance of agricultural societies of the Linear Pottery culture exploiting the environment of soils with the highest agricultural values. These groups also made an attempt of “tactical” use of podzols environments, however, due to its failure within the following centuries, they concentrated on earlier exploited areas. A real breakthrough was brought by the occurrence of the Funnel Beaker culture societies. They were mainly interested in less abundant, hitherto not used in terms of economy, environments. Probably at that time brine springs were also exploited. An excellent example of a settlement from this period is Wilkostowo 23/24 – one of the best recognized complexes of „funnel beakers” in Europe. In the following centuries the Tążyna basin was the scene of activeness of societies realising more mobile („globular amphoras” and „corded ware”) economic strategies. The state of preservation and prospects of the Neolithic sites survival adversely correspond to the outstanding cognitive significance of the region under consideration. During the recent thirty – forty years a sharp increase of threats to part of them – especially to these located on the weakest soils (developed on sandy substratum) took place. Their areas are nowadays afforested, objects connected with vegetables storage are located on them, and they become purposes of minerals (sand, gravel) exploitation. In such a situation it is necessary to implement a local programme of protection of sites dated to the Neolithic. The author postulates that it should include verifying surface surveys, excavations and educational actions.

The article discusses the results of research that was done on an aeolian hillock in the Załęcze Wielkie, Wieluń district. It was discovered in 2011 and initially considered to be the remains of a barrow which was suggested by the results of laser scanning (LiDAR). Archaeological and geological research, however, univocally state the natural origin of the hillock. The authors emphasize the ambiguity of the data obtained from the laser scanning. Research extending beyond LiDAR itself must be a necessary element to acknowledge the anthropomorphic origin of various forms of hillocks
