In the Younger Pre-Roman Period the territory of Central Germany was occupied by Jastorf culture. Within this cultural milieu some elements occur typical of areas which are located on the eastern bank of Odra river, that is on the territory of Przeworsk culture. It concerns both material culture and behaviours connected with burial custom. Studies on some specific forms of pottery (cups of TD I) allow to distinguish two regions of Central Germany, which display different reception models of Przeworsk culture traits. Of the first one (Unstrut and Sale region) presence of vessels identical to those known from the area of Przeworsk culture is typical. Within the second zone (central Elbe region and Gubin group) the specimens occur which are usually larger then original cups of type TD I. Second part of the paper is devoted to explanation of this phenomenon. Materials coming from four cemeteries represented both the Jastorf and Przeworsk culture were here the subject of more detailed analysis. It allows to draw the conclusion that observed change in size of TD I cups may be considered as a result of adaptation to the specific norms of burial custom. While in the area of Przeworsk culture cups usually served as a gift, being deposited within the burial pit, in the case of Jastorf culture they were used as container for charred bones. Because their capacity had to be fitted to the volume of remains deposited in them, the positive correlation between age of deceased and the size of cups can be observed.

The famous Early Bronze Age gold find from Dieskau, Saalekreis district, in Central Germany consists of three bracelets, a small ring, and a flanged axe, while eight other objects of unknown type remain lost. It was discovered in 1874 only three kilometres from a very large princely burial mound called Bornhöck, which was destroyed mostly in the second half of the 19th century AD. This paper argues that the gold ensemble was probably found during the removal of the Bornhöck burial mound and only subsequently attributed to a different find site to cover up the illegal extraction. In any case, there is a connection with the princely graves of the Únětice Culture. The prince of Dieskau was likely the most powerful of these princes.

The author’s chronology of the Únětice Culture (UC) in Central Germany is based on a typological sequence of the cups, the characteristic type fossil of this culture. The typological sequence is based on the position of the handle which in the first stage was directly attached to the rim of the cup and then shifted continuously downwards. Whereas cups with handles attached directly to their rims belonged to the last i.e. third stage of the Bell Beaker culture cups with the distinct position of their handles below the rims characterizing the first stage of the UC in the proper sense. The second stage of the UC is characterized by cups whose handles were attached to the shoulder’s upper offset. Besides the downwards shift of the handles, the height of the cup’s neck increased to the detriment of the shoulder’s height. In the third stage besides the tripartite cups (cups with neck and shoulder), bipartite so called classical cups emerged for the first time. Both shapes were in use side by side without the tripartite cups being replaced by the bipartite ones as has been argued so far. By means of the rims of the cups, the third stage UC3 can be divided into further sub stages: an older one (UC 3a) with cups with funnel shaped rims and a younger one (UC 3b) with cups with rims bent into a horizontal position. Both shapes of rims occurred likewise on tripartite and bipartite cups. Stage 4 cups become less frequent and differ from the older ones in their C shaped rims with downwards bended edges which also occurred on contemporary bowls. On the whole, the stages 1–5 of my UC harmonize largely with the stages already published by Neumann in 1929: that means that Uraunjetitz corresponds with UC 1, Frühaunjetitz with UC 2, Hochaunjetitz with UC 3a and Spätaunjetitz comprises the stages UC 3b–5. Therefore, Neumann’s chronology can be sustained at least to a certain degree.
