In the article a comparative analysis of technology of blade production in the late Mesolithic Janislavice culture and early Neolithic Linear Pottery culture is presented. In earlier literature attempts were made to indicate genetic connections of int production of both cultures based on similarities of blade cores and blades morphology. The conducted characteristics of micromorphology of these blade core parts, which play an active part in the production process, is illustrated by different ways of half – raw material production. Two methods of preparation of percussion point on cores: 1. Janislavician cores bear traces of abrasion of core processing edge, 2. „linear” cores have abraded but facetted edges. Both ways were connected with different methods of blade production, and as a result blades of different proportions were formed. Differences between cores of both units are also visible in the shape of aking the surfaces of blade cores. What is especially distinct is the convexity which reects itself in the thickness and width of the blades. To conclude, morphological similarities between cores of both cultures seem to be apparent. In actual fact, both units used two different conceptions of blade production. An additional prerequisite for such a statement is a clearly different strategy of halfraw material use, coming from the exploitation of blade cores. In other words – the basic types of tools in the Janislavice culture (microliths, side scrapers) and in the Linear Pottery culture (truncated blades, harvesting knives, end scrapers) needed other forms of half-raw material.

The aim of this article is to report on the remains of the first permanent Linear Pottery culture (LBK) settlement to be recorded in Eastern Pomerania, at a site in Kościelna Jania. Exceptional aspects of this discovery include the presence of what had very probably been longhouses, the large number of artefacts, the site’s far-northern location in relation to large LBK enclaves and the relatively early date to which it has been attributed – namely, the onset of the Notenkopf phase. The authors discuss the implications of this discovery on interpretations of the Neolithisation process in the southern Baltic coastal region. One of the key issues to resolve is where contact between farming societies and hunter-gatherer communities occurred and whether these encounters were sporadic or reasonably regular resulting, for example, from these groups living in close proximity to one another.

The article presents the results of rescue excavations undertaken in connection with the construction of A4 motorway. The site is situated in the south-eastern outskirts of Cracow, in the area of the vast, sandy valley of the Vistula river. That area is distinguished from the predominant area of loess highlands in terms of the environmental conditions, particularly good for gathering and hunting, grazing cattle and obtaining various resources. The survey of that and several other, similarly located sites show that the zone became attractive, apart from the period of dominance of gathering and hunting communities, as late as in the Eneolithic and the early Bronze Age. The 161 pits, as well as the pottery and flint artefacts, recorded in Kokotów in the area of 0.56 ha, present the following chronological profile: a Mesolithic temporary campsite followed by a multiphase, but, in all cases, rather temporary presence of the Funnel Beaker culture community, the Corded Ware culture, the Mierzanowice and Trzciniec cultures. An important element of the nature of the profile of exploitation of that zone in the Eneolithic period and the early Bronze Age on the site in Kokotów are quite numerous relics connected with making and using flint axes, which may suggest obtaining wood.

A multicultural settlement was revealed at the site Głazów 2 (AZP 40-09/19), Myślibórz commune, zachodniopomorskie voivodeship. Artefacts and features are dated from the late Palaeolithic, through Neolithic groups of the following cultures: Linear Pottery, late Linear Pottery, Funnelbeaker, Globular Amphora, as well as Lusatian and Jastorf, up to the early modern period. The settlement of the Lusatian culture witnessed the strongest development from the end of the Bronze Age to the beginning of the La Tène period. The later settlement traces hint at the agricultural function of the site area.

The multi-cultural settlement at the site Głazów 8 (AZP 40-09/25), Myślibórz commune, zachodniopomorskie voivodeship, was settled in three periods: towards the end of the Bronze Age, the end of the Hallstatt period and in the La Tène period. Earlier traces of human presence betray a camp character. They are dated to the late Palaeolithic, to Neolithic cultures: the late Linear Pottery culture, the Funnelbeaker culture, the Globular Amphora culture, to Epineolithic cultures: the Corded Ware culture and the Bell-Beaker culture. In turn, since the Early Middle Ages until the early modern period, the area of the site was used for agricultural purposes.
