Two stone shaft-hole axes found in a destroyed grave of the Corded Ware culture in Brożec, Strzelin district, SW Poland, have been subjected to morpho-functional analysis. Both tools bear various traces of use, repair and ante-depositional treatment, which points to their interesting life histories. The high-resolution analysis involved detailed microscopic and morphometric observations aimed to determine the function of the axes and the scale of modifications made before the artefacts became grave goods. The axes are quite similar typologically (according to the typologies by Jan Machnik 1966 and Piotr Włodarczak 2006). However, before being placed in the grave, they were definitely used, and their use wear traces show that the roles of the artefacts were different

In 2012, series of archaeological rescue excavations were carried out at Zagórze, due to the construction of the Świnna Poręba retention reservoir on the Skawa river in Wadowice district (Lesser Poland voivodeship). During this research, in one of the excavated sites – no. 8 – a flint tool was discovered below the top of the slope in the diluvial cover, in the secondary position. The preliminary analysis showed that it is a so-called flame knife, characteristic tool of the Corded Ware culture. Sometime later, feature no. 894 was discovered, located approximately 35 meters from the aforementioned flame knife, at the top of the slope. Five fragments of pottery were found in this feature. Four of them have been classified as fragments of CWC ceramics, including fragments of a beaker and an amphora. On the basis of these finds, as well as comparisons to other sites, two hypotheses were formulated regarding the nature of the discovered feature: a flat grave or a feature of a settlement character. The aim of this paper is to present a comprehensive analysis (including use-wear analysis of the flame knife) and interpretation of these discovered finds.

In the paper the finds of the Corded Ware culture cemeteries on the Sokal Perch and the Kańczuga Upland are discussed. Data obtained during the excavations there can be used in studies social structure of various groups of the culture in question. Detailed analyses of assemblages from graves of the Corded Ware culture on territories between the Vistula, Bug, and Dniester Rivers indicate the existence of various relations between people from different regions but also those living on the same area. However, the question of the character of these relations remains open.

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 presents new evidence from excavations in the Moskva river valley, where Early Bronze Age sites have been found under alluvial sediments on the flood plain. The finds were identified to the Corded Ware, Fatyanovo and Abashevo cultures. Radiocarbon dates and stratigraphy demonstrate that these sites developed from the middle to the end of the 3rd millennium BC. Analysis of pollen identified ancient fields and provided a general picture of the proportion of wild and culture landscapes

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 paper focuses on the chronology of the eastern group of the Primorskaya culture, introducing a new series of radiocarbon dates. Materials obtained from features with their foundations sunk into the ground and from cultural layers of the settlements Pribrezhnoye and Ushakovo-3 are described in the context of C-14 datings. The original nature of CWC sites from the north-western coast of the Vistula Lagoon is shown on the basis of C-14 dating, specific traits of ceramic assemblages and properties of the material culture.

The purpose of the article is an analysis of archaeological finds from features 1 and 11 at Wilczyce, site 10. The site is located on the Sandomierz Upland. It has been discovered during a surface survey. The analysis included flakes and blades removed in process of forming axes with rectangular cross section of the Corded Ware culture. During cabinet work 15 blocks were refitted, each consisting of 2 to 26 elements. The number of remaining blanks indicates a local or even place-constricted character of the production of axes with rectangular sections by the population of Corded Ware culture. 14C date obtained for the sample of charcoal coming from feature 11 was established to 3895 ± 30 BP (Poz-91046).

Two additional niche graves of the Corded Ware Culture were discovered during the rescue archaeological works carried out in the year 2010 on site No 85 in Kraków-Mistrzejowice. The preserved fragments of skeletons allow to assess that in the feature 1307 there were buried two individuals: female at the age of death at iuvenis-adultus and child at the age of death at infans II, the sex was not established. The human remains that were found in the feature 1311 belonged to a man at the age at death of adultus (20–25 years old) with intra vitam body height of 170 cm. Discovered in grave goods especially pottery allow to date them to phase IIIb of the Corded Ware Culture development in Małopolska Upland

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.

This article evaluates the potential of magnetometry to establish the internal structure of three mounds in the barrow cemetery of Bukivna in the Upper Dniester River Basin in Ukraine.We also evaluate the effects of geomorphological processes on the magnetometric results. The three-stage research method we applied comprises the preparation of a digital elevation model of the mounds, conducting geomagnetic surveys and, finally, targeted excavations, the latter enabling the verification of previously detected magnetic anomalies. In effect our studies show exceptionally complex geophysical anomalies, difficult to interpret with any certainty. In the peculiar case of the barrows 6 and 7 in group I, partly connected by an earthen mantle, the overlapping magnetic fields did not allow the two mounds to be distinguished from each other; it was possible to achieve only through subsequent excavations. In both barrows, a series of ritual and sepulchral structures were discovered that provided clear magnetic signals. The arrangement of the anomalies in the mound 1, group II, potentially reflects various aspects of the barrow’s structure and its state of preservation, beginning with postdepositional processes related to erosion or to the run-off of material down the slope, and ending with the mound’s stratigraphy, formed over the course of two phases. In turn, in the case of mounds 6 and 7, it can be assumed that the effects of these processes have been somewhat “suppressed” in the magnetometric image, due to the strong impact of the burnt wooden structures located underneath the features
