This article is my history of the archaeological project conducted by the University of Michigan and State University of New York at Buffalo and the Institute of the History of Material Culture, Polish Academy of Sciences from 1966 to 1978. Recently my colleague Jan Machnik (2014) published his recollections about this project in his memoirs Między pokoleniami (Between Generations). Since I play a significant role in his memoirs, I think that the future generations of archeologists should treat some sections of Machnik’s memoirs as storytelling, since they contain a mixed bag of facts and fiction. I present my recollections of events related to the archaeological project. As long as I worked at Olszanica and Machnik at Iwanowice 1967–1973, we had minor disagreements. In 1974 we started the cooperative American and Polish excavations at Bronocice. The attempt by Machnik to control the Bronocice excavations and marginalize my role in the project led to our conflict. My fight with Machnik was not about archaeological ideas and interpretations of archaeological data, but about the organization and control of the cooperative excavations and the personnel of the project.

Statistical analysis was performed on several trace element attributes found in human skeletal remains from Bronocice, Łękawa, Samborzec, Słonowice, Szarbia and Wójeczka. The Bronocice data comes from four cultures: Funnel Beaker, Lublin-Volhynian, Funnel Beaker-Baden and Corded Ware, thus it represents the largest sample of data for this analysis. The samples from other sites are from Corded Ware culture. One Bronze Age sample comes from Słonowice. The samples were analyzed in the Laboratory for Archaeological Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison by T. Douglas Price. The objective of this study is to determine the dietary practices of Neolithic populations in southeastern Poland and if the diets of these cultures varied through time

The purpose of this article is to present the recovered plant remains and their subsistence and ecological analysis from Lublin-Volhynian, Funnel Beaker, and Funnel-Beaker-Baden culture occupations at Bronocice, dating from approximately 3800 to 2700 BC. Domesticated plants were significant in all time periods, but gathered plants supplemented the diet throughout the 1100 years under review. Some were trees and shrubs used for fodder, consumption and technological items but most were ruderals found growing in agricultural land, old fields, and pastures.
