The aim of the paper is to present funeral customs of communities that inhabited the Carpathian foothills of Vistula and San rivers basins at the Final Neolithic and the Early Bronze Age representing Corded Ware and Mierzanowice cultures in the light of new chronometric data. These radiocarbon data were obtained for barrows at site 3 in Średnia, Przemyśl district and Jawczyce, Wieliczka district site 1, mound 2. According to conduct-ed investigations the earliest barrows in this region can be dated to the beginning of the 29th century BC. Then in the younger phase of the Corded Ware culture the exploitation of existing mound continued so subsequent graves were dug into the embankment. This burial rite lasted until the turn of the 24th and 23rd centuries BC so can be synchronised with the presence of niche graves to the north of Carpathian foothills. Afterwards during the Early Bronze Age starting at the 22nd century BC communities of the Mierzanowice culture also chose existing mounds as a place to bury their dead. Therefore one can con-clude that in funeral rites of the Corded Ware and Mierzanowice cultures groups in the Carpathian foothills the barrow as the burial place of their ancestors played the main role.

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.

Nowadays there are 72 sites of the Neolithic Middle-Don Culture. Ceramic vessels are ornamented mostly using triangular pricks. These settlements are located on the banks of the rivers Voronezh and Don in their lower reaches. Not far from the town of Dobroe, a  concentration of Neolithic settlements was found. Three of them contained Early Neolithic pottery of the Middle-Don Culture (6th millennium BC). For the first time on the settlement Dobroe 9 a cultural layer was found in situ. Due to the discovery of the assemblage of pottery and stone and bone tools, new excavations allowed us to characterise the material culture of the ancient population of the Upper Don in a new way.
