The article discusses the effectiveness of geomagnetic prospection in detecting such parts of the early-Neolithic settlements areas in the vicinity of the village of Targowisko in which traces of only one building phase have survived. The purpose of the surveying programme was to obtain assemblages of artefacts and ecofacts related to a period of time that would be as short as possible, i.e. to the existence of a single family living in one house, representing a single cultural tradition, without any older or younger materials. It was assumed that this objective could only be achieved on the boundaries of settlements inhabited over longer periods of time (cf. Grygiel 1986). Thus, the geomagnetic prospection was carried out in selected target areas covering northern or southern edges of large settlements of the Linear Pottery (LBK) culture and the Malice culture (MC), which had already been thoroughly surveyed as part of rescue excavations at the early-Neolithic settlement complex of Targowisko, in connection with the construction of highway A-4, approx. 30 km east of Cracow (Fig. 1). The results of the geomagnetic survey made it possible to demarcate zones, each having an area of 10 ares, at three sites for the purpose of confirming the validity of the planned research strategy. The test excavations at sites 16 and 14–15 in Targowisko and at site 40 in Brzezie met the expectations, yielding assemblages of artefacts from narrow time horizons. They will become the core of works on the reconstruction of cultural transformation micro-processes at the confluence of the LBK culture and the MC.
