During the excavations within the settlement of the Funnel Beaker culture in Poganice, Słupsk county, carried out in the 1970s, two fragments of vessels decorated with band and comb ornament were discovered. This discovery appears to be one of the north-westernmost appearances of such a type of pottery, very common in Chełmno land, and considered to be one of the indicators of the Mątwy group of the Funnel Beaker culture. Their presence at the site of the Łupawa group of the Funnel Beaker culture permits to follow the ways the pottery got into the Łupawa River basin. It might have been via the route along the left side edge of the lower Vistula valley, and further on along the courses of the Wierzyca and Słupia Rivers into Central Pomerania.

The article is a summary of the state of the art concerning the so-called cult houses discovered in megaliths of the Funnel Beaker culture (hereinafter referred to as TRB from German Trichterbecherkultur) in its Eastern and South-Eastern groups. The author suggests to divide the discussed objects into types “A” and “B”, which may better reflect their characteristics. He also emphasises that the reinterpretation of some of the known features as the structures of this type would significantly increase their number. If the chosen course of interpretation appears accurate, it may indicate that the presence of wooden structures in the TRB graves in the Polish lands was not at all special. However, it should be borne in mind that these objects might have served not only for religious purposes.

In the article, the author discusses and accepts the need to rejuvenate the chronology of the beginnings of the Funnel Beaker culture in the Polish Plain which should be then dated to about 4200/4100 years BC. While accepting such an approach, the author presents also some of its consequences – e.g. multi-stylistic of pottery and variability of environments inhabited by the earliest Funnel Beaker communities. The article also presents some suggestions concerning the participation of huntergatherers and early agrarian groups in the shaping of this culture in the Polish lowlands. It also raises some questions, which, under the new chronological circumstances, await further archaeometric data and proper discussion.

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.

The cemetery in Marianowo is the first non-megalithic burial site of the Funnel Beaker culture (hereinafter referred to as TRB from German Trichterbecherkultur), which has been recorded in eastern Wielkopolska. It is also the first one where biritual funeral rites have been adopted. Despite the poor evidence, it might be generally dated to the Classic Wiórek phase (III), and even to sub-phase IIIC of TRB. All six unearthed burials were of children, and the question of the reason why one of them was cremated provides a wide range of interpretative alternatives.

Discussion in the article concentrates mainly on the relationship between flint working of the communities of the Łupawa group and populations representing the Funnel Beaker culture in Kujawy. Such a comparisons became possible with the discoveries at Wilkostowo 23/24 site, com. Aleksandrów Kujawski.

The studies on the multicultural site in Zimne (near Włodzimierz Wołyński) have brought the discovery of, among others, ceramics from the Trypillian culture. Their importance in the context of broader research issues prompted the author to publish these artefacts. A detailed analysis of technological features, morphology and ornamentation has been presented in a broadly comparative context. The issues of belonging of these materials to the Gorodosk and Brynzeny groups, as well as their relationships with the Funnel Beaker culture have been discussed extensively. Moreover, extremely interesting arguments in this discussion have been also supplemented by C14 dates recently obtained for 12 samples from the site in Zimne.

Rescue excavations at the site of Michalin 1, Waganiec commune, Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodeship were carried out by the Foundation of the University of Łódz. At the site remains of the Funnel Beaker culture were discovered. The aim of the paper is to present and summarize the results of the research conducted at the site of Michalin 1. 83 features and relatively numerous artefacts were recorded, including 621 vessel fragments and 66 flint artefacts. Pottery decorations corresponded to the Wiórek stylistics. As a result of the excavations the remains of a small TRB settlement were discovered.

In the 1950s, a settlement of the Funnel Beaker culture (FBC) was discovered on the Lysivka Hill in Vynnyky (Fig. 1), located in the centre of the West Ukrainian territory of this culture (Hawinskyj, Rybicka 2021). Currently, it belongs to a small group of FBC sites in Western Ukraine that have been excavated. The information presented by M. Peleshschyshyn, who conducted excavations in Vynnyky-Lysivka, regarding the relationship between the FBC community and the Tripolye culture (TC) was particularly interesting (see Rybicka 2017). He believed that Vynnyky recorded the coexistence of their population (Peleshschyshyn 1998a, 191). The burnt daub clusters discovered at that time could probably have been the remains of dwellings. The aim of the research carried out since 2016 was to verify the hypotheses of M. Peleshschyshyn (1998a) in the context of the FBC-TC relationship (Hawinskyj, Rybicka 2021) and to establish the date of the settlement usage in Vynnyky-Lysivka. Radiocarbon dating obtained for the samples from the features from the northern zone of the settlement, allow the researchers to be placed Vynnyky-Lysivka in the period 3500–3360 BC and synchronized with the third phase of the southeastern FBC group.

Archaeological excavations carried out by Patrimonium Foundation at site Dąbrówka 9, com. Kowal, in 2009 provided a unique assemblage of a series of blades made on so-called chocolate flint. Refitting of blades permitted reconstruction of core reduction stages. However, there the question arises of what was the origin of the find – a purpose for which the artefacts were brought to and finally deposited at the site. The blades were produced outside the site Dąbrówka 9 and they are represented either by very even regular ones – “select”, as well as debitage of the core reduction. Use-wear analysis, however, proved that each artefact had been at least sporadically used.

This paper discusses artefacts dated to the neolithic and early Bronze Age found on the area of the eastern polish Carpathians and their forelands. Most of them came from accidental discoveries but some of them were found as a result of systematic surveys and excavations. Rectangular axes build strongest group of artefacts. Artefacts made of banded flint came from 116 sites grouped into 6 blocks: A – belongs to the Funnel Beaker culture (material from 6 sites); B – with characteristics of the globular Amphora culture/Funnel Beaker culture or the globular Amphora culture/Corded Ware culture (56 sites); C – materials of the Corded Ware culture (11 sites); D – materials dated to the neolithic without cultural affiliation (28 sites); e – materials dated to the early Bronze Age, most probably the Mierzanowice culture (5 sites) and F – materials dated to the neolithic and early Bronze Age without cultural affiliation (9 sites). There is no doubt about cultural affiliation of artefacts from the categories A, C and D. With regard to polished, rectangular axes bearing features typical for the globular Amphora, Funnel Beaker and Corded Ware culture (category B), the situation is different. There is no graves and settlement sites on the eastern polish Carpathians, and graves and settlements are extremely rare on the forelands. This suggest that these areas were not settled by the globular Amphora people. For these reasons cultural affiliation of these axes can be discussed on the several levels. The first one refers to the identification of axes makers. Features of the shape, preparation and polishing and raw material used suggest that these axes, or at least most of them could have been made by the globular Amphora culture people. The second level of interpretation refers to the “last user” of these axes. In this respect, several possibilities can be suggested. First of all, there were people of the Funnel Beaker culture and/or Corded Ware culture. numerous sites of the Funnel Beaker and Corded Ware cultures located on the eastern polish Carpathians forelands, on the eastern Carpathian Foothills, and within the jasło–Sanok Depression may indirectly suggests such the cultural affiliation of these axes. Secondly, it cannot be completely excluded that the “last users” of such axes may have been also the people of the globular Amphora culture (items lost during penetration of these areas or movement of people, or some these axes came from destroyed graves of the globular Amphora culture).

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 article presents the results of rescue excavations carried out in August 2018, at the archaeological site Łowce 17. The site is located on the extreme promontory of the loess lobe, extending at an altitude of 210m above sea level, near the riverbed of the Łęg Rokietnicki River. The value of this place has been confirmed several times by surface surveys, which provided the evidence of artefacts from the Neolithic period, Bronze Age, Roman influence and Early Middle Ages. In the course of excavations, an area of one are was examined. After removing the surface layer, an accumulation layer was recorded at the level of 40 cm, with numerous Neolithic and Bronze Age materials, together with an iron artefact. Below, at a level of about 50 cm, a layer of yellow loess was uncovered, in which features of the Mierzanowice culture, the Tarnobrzeg Łużycka culture and features of unknown chronology were recorded. In total, 20 features of an economic nature were registered, containing ceramic, flint and stone artefacts in their fills, as well as burnt daub and animal bones were noted. Moreover, secondary deposited material was observed in some features. In the next stage of research, the obtained materials were analyzed, which were mainly represented by pottery vessels. The research included the analysis in terms of technology, morphology and ornamentation, based on macroscopic characteristics. As a result of these observations, an attempt was made to determine the relative chronology, distinguishing the ceramics of the Funnel Beaker culture, the Globular Amphora culture, the Mierzanowice culture, the Trzciniec culture and the Tarnobrzeg Lusatian culture. The assessment of the cultural affiliation of flint materials was difficult due to the uncharacteristic forms or lack of context. With reference to artefacts coming from the accumulation layer, a miniature axe/chisel made of Volyn flint was found, which can be attributed to the activities of the TRB and an iron axe/adze with undetermined chronology. As a result of the research, it was possible to confirm the high importance of site No. 17 in Łowce, which was a settlement enclave from the Middle Neolithic period to the Early Middle Ages. The studied area was part of the settlement of the Mierzanowice culture and Tarnobrzeg Lusatian culture. Certainly the following years of research will provide a lot of valuable information about the settlement of these communities and the importance of the region.

The article presents materials from research works undertaken on site Kokotów 13 and related to the scheduled construction of A-4 motorway on the route Kraków – Tarnów: surveys of 1996 and 2004 and wide rescue excavations from the years 2005-2007. The analysis of materials indicated the use of land of the site from late Paleolithic until the modern times, with the largest intensity of settlement in late Neolithic and late Bronze Age.

Spatial archaeology usually links population estimates to settlement functions. Normal (Gaussian) or binomial distributions of a variable reflecting population values are used for groups of sites identified as seasonal occupations, hamlets, villages, centers etc. However, using this approach the demographic development remains hidden in bell-curves. To solve this issue we propose a research procedure that considers spatio-demographic development of the population. Application of this procedure to Funnel Beaker sites in the Bronocice region led to the identification of at least 7 sub-phases in the ‘classical’ period Bronocice 3 (BR II) and 4 (BR III) and could be increased to 8-9 sub-phases.

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.

In the autumn of 2016 a geomagnetic survey was conducted in Skołoszów, site. 7, Dist Jarosław. The magnetic prospection took place on a low hill spanning 2.12 ha in total. Distribution of the anomalies, as visible on a map depicting obtained data, reflects numerous structures related to human activity in the area during the prehistory and historic times. Among them are two features interpreted as residues of funerary rituals taking place at the site. One of them pertains to Middle Neolithic earthen long barrow, whereas the second by its shape resembles Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age tumuli. Apart from the latter, one can discern numerous anomalies potentially related to pits and ditches. Interpretation of the geophysical imagery was based upon the results of excavations conducted in 2010 in the nearby section of Skołoszów, site 7. In the process, funeral structures in the types of earthen long barrow and a presumable tumulus were recorded. Thus, it is possible to confront observations inferred from the results of non-invasive, magnetometric survey, with data obtained by means of more direct exploratory methods. Besides the prehistoric record, our investigation resulted in reconstruction of the trenches most probably dating to the First World War.

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 subject of the study is a collective find of three axes discovered in 1964 during excavation research at the multicultural site VII in Klementowice, Kurów commune, Puławy dis-trict, Lublin voivodeship, in the north-western part of the Nałęczów Plateau. Two artefacts (with quadrilateral section and bifacial) are made of banded flint and one (with quadrilateral section) – of Świeciechów flint. These raw materials come from deposits exploited in the Neolithic period in mines of the Świętokrzyski region of the prehistoric flint mining. Despite the existing doubts, these axes should be combined with the Funnel Beaker culture, its southeastern group.

This article is the result of the latest studies on the settlement of the Funnel Beaker culture communities in the loess area of the Rzeszów Foothills and the Lower San Valley. It deals with shaping of the settlement network of this cultural phenomenon in relation to the local natural environment, chronological issues (initiation, duration and deconstruction of the phenomenon) and intercultural contacts. Analysing the sources it was found that in the studied area, the communities of the Funnel Beaker culture formed characteristic settlement clusters, strongly related to the network of river valleys crossing the loess patch of the Rzeszów Foothills and the Lower San Valley. Within such clusters there were functionally diverse sites such as: cemeteries, various size of settlements and camps. In the light of the latest data in the field of absolute dating and information coming from ceramics, it can be assumed that the appearance of these communities in the discussed area occurred slightly earlier than about 3700 BC. Their development did not take place in isolation from neighbouring “worlds”. In many local settlements of the Funnel Beaker culture the ceramics were recorded, which may provide evidence of contacts with the eastern environment of this culture and the late Tripolye culture.
