This article is a continuation of the studies conducted by the author on the settlement of Neolithic populations who inhabited the territory of Świecie Plauteau. The aim of this study was to reconstruct the basic tendencies of the settlement development of the population of globular amphora culture who inhabited the area of Świecie Plauteau, and to reveal the interrelatedness between location of well-known settlement points and natural spheres. Basing on the generally applied methodology of research on settlement, within the multi-faceted settlement study, we focused on the functional character of sites, the main settlement areas and settlement preferences in terms of basic elements of nature of landscape zones (topography, hydrological and soil conditions). The works published heretofore, raising the issue of settlement and cultural processes in the period of Neolithic and concerning Polish Plain, treated the examined territory only marginally. The lack of interest in this area and insufficient development of archaeological research that resulted from it caused that even in the 1990s it was considered an area relatively episodically penetrated or, perchance, sparsely inhabited by Neolithic populations. In the light of new evidence, the thesis is no longer valid. The contemporary research shows that the human communities existing in this region in the Late Stone Age (including the people of the GAC) served as intermediaries in the process of spreading the ideas of Neolithisation in almost all phases of development. The consequences of this phenomenon are currently noticed in areas remote from each other. The presented article closes the next stage of research on settlement and cultural transformations in the area of the Brda and Vistula limited to the territory of Świecie Plauteau that is particularily interesting for the author. It is his aim to continue this project in order to specify or resolve many questions that have not been discussed. What requires detailed study is the real size and character of settlement clusters, as well as the character of internal layout of individual settlements and encampments. The remains of settlement discovered so far underwent, to a greater of lesser extend, redistribution caused by the development of hillslope and fluvial processes. The other important task is to specify the chronological and taxonomic position of available artifacts together as well as to create the proper systematics of source materials. Also the multi- -faceted field research, which is still the basic means of gathering core information about the internal character of layout of residential and farm buildings and obtaining suitable (in quality and quantity) source materials, must be continued.
