Protoneolithic Culture refers as a concept to the hunting-gathering communities of Western Europe living in the terminal Atlantic period, that is, about 4500-3000 BC, which had already absorbed some of the civilizational advances of the agriculturalists. Characteristic thick-walled containers with conical pointed bottoms adapted to forest use were typical of this culture. In the past fifty years Protoneolithic culture has been recognized to a different extent in the territories of France, Holland, northern Germany, Denmark, southwestern Sweden and Poland (western Pomerania). Tanowo near Szczecin is one of the most important sites of this culture in the southwestern Baltic region. Excavations were conducted there by the author in 1989-2002. The site has produced an extensive assemblage of flint, stone and ceramic finds of a unique nature in Polish territory, as well as an abundance of animal bones. Taken in conjunction, the finds paint a fairly complete cultural and socio-economic picture of the local Protoneolithic. The present article is the first publication to present in outline a comprehensive view of this assemblage.
