The relics of a possible settlement were identified at Ramiszów, site 4, in the course of archaeological excavation made in advance of the construction of expressway S8 linking Wrocław and Warsaw. Excavation was made of SE fragment of a site designated by a scatter of archaeological finds observed during a surface survey, an area of less than 4000 m2. Regrettably, the area available for excavation was restricted by the scope of the road construction project and could not be extended. Despite the relatively large size of the site subjected to exploration only two archaeological features were identified on the western boundary of the trench, suggesting it was the eastern outlying area of a settlement extending more to the west of the excavation. Ceramic finds determined the dating of one of the pits as early medieval (no. 1) and assigned the other pit (no. 20) to the Neolithic age and to the Linear Pottery Culture. Archaeological finds from this second pit are the subject of the present analysis. The 2.24×1.26 m pit survived only in its bottom fragment, as shown by its depth of just 0.24 m, with a fill of dark grey compacted humus. The inventory consisted of 131 pottery fragments and 69 flints. Despite substantial fragmentation of the sherds it was possible to identify nine vessel forms (Fig. 8, 9). It is characteristic that not one of them was a globular vessel typical for the older phases of Linear Pottery Culture; next to a single barrel-shaped form (Fig. 9c) there were only pyriform vessels with a flattened body and marked rim (Fig. 8a-c, f, 9b). Also notable is ornamentation which does not feature the musical notation motif, so typical for the older phases of Linear Pottery Culture. The designs observed on all the decorated sherds (except for the barrel-shaped form) are of Šarka variety, its most representative forms shown in Fig. 8a-g. The ornamentation of the barrel-shaped vessel is also striking, a typical stroke-ornamented design similar to the earliest ornamentation seen on Stroked Pottery Culture ceramics encountered in Lower Silesia in settlements dated to the final stages of Linear Pottery Culture (Skoroszowice, Strachów). All ceramic attributes named here help in dating the pit no. 2, and the settlement to which presumably it belonged, to the final stage of the Linear Pottery Culture, to be more precise - its youngest stadium, phase Šarka, transitional to the Stroked Pottery Culture. The flint inventory is of two varieties: Baltic moraine flint (89.8%) and Jurassic flint from the region of Kraków (10.2%). The series of 59 flints included cores, mostly of splintered piece type, flakes, blades and retouched tools (5 specimens). The pit is interpreted as a waste pit based on the presence of refittings of production waste (Fig. 15 and 16) from the working of cores by its edge. The site under discussion of truly exceptional relevance for the study of the extent of Linear Pottery Culture settlement bordering on the Odra River in Lower Silesia. This is because it is the first evidence, so well-documented by diagnostic ceramic material, of penetration of the areas on the right bank of the Odra, after the people of the said culture had forded the great river in the region where its joined by its tributaries the Oława, the Ślęza and the Bystrzyca. The source area of this group would have been the centre of dense settlement formed between the Oława and the Bystrzyca, with the river Ślęza as its axis. Ties with this region are indicted by some of the technological attributes of the pottery (copious tempering with mica or with coarse quartzite) and finds of Jurassic flint from the region of Kraków, which in settlements of this centre of settlement in southern Silesia is definitely the dominant variety, imported from western Lesser Poland.

The article presents new results of rescue excavations in Malzyce (Little Poland; loess covered upland). The mound marked as 'barrow 2' was a rest of TRB megalithic monument. Also four graves of Corded Ware and two graves of Mierzanowice culture were discovered. The article concerns a detailed description of finds, especially of rich catacomb graves of Corded Ware culture. On the basis of the absolute and the relative chronologies it may be assumed that barrow in Malzyce was used in two phases separated by nearly a thousand years; the first phase was related to the TRB (approx. 3600-3300 BC), and the second phase to the Cracow-Sandomierz group of Corded Ware culture (approx. 2500-2400 BC). Moreover, two graves point to the third phase in the history of the place: Early Bronze age.

Altogether 17 radiocarbon results referring to the Corded Ware culture were obtained. The selection of samples determined the good quality of the dated material from the Late Neolithic graves (mainly human bones). The new series aimed to verify previous establishments including dating of the cemetery in Zerniki Górne in particular. Four important results were obtained from central barrow graves. New dates verify the absolute chronology of the Corded Ware culture in south-eastern Poland. The beginning of the CWC settlement fell probably on years 2800-2700 BC. The final stage should be referred to ca. 2300 BC.

Five graves of Corded Ware culture at Pelczyska were discovered during excavations carried out by an expedition from the Institute of Archaeology at the Warsaw University, headed by Marcin Rudnicki. The features have yielded inventory typical of Corded Ware finds from western Malopolska. On the basis of the grave goods, features 21/2004, 32/2002 and 50/2002 should be linked with phase II (or perhaps subphase IIIA) of the mentioned culture, i.e. with the older period of the Krakow-Sandomierz group. Features 50/2004 and 54/2004, containing flowerpot-shaped beakers, seem to be related to the younger horizon of this group. The arrangement of the niche graves suggests that they surrounded a circular mound (which wasn't discovered). Site 6 in Pelczyska proves to be of much interest, due both to its stratigraphic arrangement and its grave inventories.

Some papers contained in a book 'Idea megalityczna w obrzadku pogrzebowym kultury pucharów lejkowatych' (The Megalithic Idea in Funeral Rites of the Funnelbeaker Culture) (Lublin-Kraków 2006) edited by Jerzy Libera and Krzysztof Tunia are the subject of reflections. The author critically assesses the conception of research on the long barrows which dominates the book. In conclusion, he postulates broadening of researches on the megalithic idea by new approaches (inter alia from the point of view of landscape archaeology), which can give new meanings and understanding of tombs and Neolithic communities in the Polish lands.

The radiocarbon dating is the main way of determining the absolute age of Corded Ware Culture (CWC). The dominating models based on calibrated dating characterized by considerably differing interpretations due to the diverse approaches to the calibration and sample quality. The character of the calibration curve sets considerable limitations on the precise determination of calendar age. Precise age determination is sometimes impossible within a range of hundreds of years. The origins of CWC settlement, defined most often as between 2900 and 2750 B.C., falls in the time of an exceptionally vast flattening of the curve (2880-2580 B.C.). The choice of particular dates in this three-hundred-year range is the effect of an archaeologist's estimate without grounds in radiocarbon dating. The last resort for precising of the age of the oldest phase of CWC is - dendrochronological dating. Summing up, the main characteristics of the dendrochronological model include: 1. short duration of CWC (ca. 300 years); 2. a disjunctiveness of the said culture from the age of older and younger culture groups; 3. dated ceramic assemblages reveal both an enduring tradition of chosen older ceramic types and a fast pace of stylistic changes. Three clear stylistic phases are in evidence. On the other hand, the CWC chronology based on radiocarbon dates is characterized by: 1. long duration of the culture; 2. long spans of contemporaneous existence of CWC settlement and other Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age cultures; 3. with regard to the ceramic assemblages, a frequently observed 'longevity' of examined stylistic types. The scale of the listed differences forces one to consider the possibility of two such separate realities. The quality and accuracy of the data call for greater credibility being granted to the dendrochronological datings and for comparing other areas to it. However, an automatic transfer of the cultural-chronological situation from one area to all the others is impossible for obvious reasons. Nonetheless, supraregional stylistic trends, characteristic of a 'pan-European horizon', for example, can be dated similarly with considerable likelihood. On the other hand, all the late local CWC groups, which also do not reveal in artefact typology any connections with Swiss territory, cannot be reliably synchronized by the radiocarbon method. It cannot be assumed in advance that the decline of CWC style occurred at a similar time in all of the areas. The chronologies based on separate dating systems feature one other fundamental difference. The dendrochronological model for the subalpine regions contains numerous time gaps between the settlement of particular cultural groups in specific territories. The nature of potential settlement is questioned for periods for which there are no dated records. The less precise 14C datings give rise to models assuming the longevity and connection between the settlement cultural units. There are no time gaps potentially existing between the age of finds to be observed based on a 14C chronology. The separate dating methods implicate a different approach and remains uncertainty caused by the possibility of such deep differences of the chronological-cultural model existing in reality. The solution is obtaining material for dendrochronological studies from central and northern Europe. 14 Figures.

Among the highly significant Neolithic finds in the Polish Lowland, which came to light during excavations along the route of the East-West transit gaspipe, there are two 'burial' sites of the Late Linear Wear culture with animal remains. So far ritual burials of this kind on the territory of the Polish Lowland were associated with the Globular Amphorae Culture and explained exclusively in terms of their southern provenience. If the burial deposits in question, described below, were proved to be intentional, it would be of great importance for the study of the early phases of the so-called animal cult in early agrarian societies. The Siniarzewo 1 find is a clay pit of the Late Linear Culture with the complete deposit of a young pig, radiocarbon-dated to 4380-4240 BC. The animal is laid prone on the E-W axis, with crouched legs. The site also contains ceramic material, preliminary dated to Phase IIb of Late Linear Wear Culture. The ritual nature of this find is beyond any doubt. On the contrary, a complete animal (cattle) deposit in the Kurczowo 5 site may have been a purely utilitarian disposal of the carcass, yet a ritual burial cannot be ruled out.

The analyzed skeletal bones of the Corded Ware Culture were unearthed by Marcin Rudnicki during surveys at the site nr 6 in Pelczyska, between 2002 and 2004. The material was examined in accordance with the applicable anthropological standards and anatomic bone descriptions. The age of the deceased at the moment of death was established upon a complex, multi-feature analysis of changes that occurred in individual morphological features of bones and teeth. After having combined the bones from the studied complexes the remains of eight individuals were given anthropological description. Half of individuals had deceased in their mature age (adultus-maturus), while the children in their early childhood (infans I). As far as the mature individuals are concerned, two sets of the bone remains indicated the presence of men, whereas the remaining two were of typically female character. Due to the not entirely completed development processes, and consequently, morphological ambiguity of the bones, the sex of the infants was not established.

The main aim of this work was to collect available information from the period of Neolithic and Early Eneolithic from the Slovak part of the river Ipeľ and to determine the relationship between the settlement and the environment (altitude, local elevation above the surrounding terrain, slope, aspect, and relation to soil and distance from the closest water source). The first step was the creation of the database of archaeological sites and subsequent analysis in geographical informational system and synthesis of acquired results, which were compared with the situation in Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland. Mutual similarities and differences were pointed out. Reciprocal interaction between settlement and environment was discovered (climate and rainfall) to which the settlement reacted immediately.

Around 5600-5500 cal BC first farmers appeared at the North European Lowland initiating ca 2.000 years lasting process of neolithisation of this area. A unique feature of Dabki settlement is the presence of several horizons of imports in the Late Mesolithic and early FBC context, mainly pottery vessels. These imports point toward an important role of that place in the exchange system between Mesolithic groups inhabited Central European Lowland and Neolithic people. Beside local hunters-gatherers, groups of Linear Band Pottery, Stroke Band Pottery, Ertebolle, Brzesc Kujawski Group, Funnel Beaker and finally Bodrogkeresztúr cultures were engaged in these contacts. Till 2009 on site 9 at Dabki there were discovered 8 potsherds of the Bodrogkeresztúr culture. Ornamentation, morphology, and technology of the fragments are typical for the pottery of the culture in question. We can synchronize the discussed imports with the earliest Funnel Beaker settlement stage in Dabki, i.e. with years 4100/4000 cal BC.

Inspiration for archaeological research in the High Bieszczady Mountains came from information about human activity recorded in pollen diagrams from surroundings of Tarnawa, Wołosate and Smerek. Archaeological investigations in the High Bieszczady Mountains began in 2012. Up to 2019 more than 70 sites dated to the Late Neolithic and Bronze Age were discovered in the highland zones of Połonina Wetlińska, Połonina Caryńska, Mała and Wielka Rawka, Wielki Dział and Bukowe Berdo massifs, between 1000 and 1300 m a. s. l. Most of these sites are located in a close context of fresh and salt water springs. The sites are represented by single finds of stone artefacts and small assemblages of them. They correspond with the pollen record of animals herding. These finds confirm transhumant pastoralism performed by Neolithic and Bronze Age (probably mainly Early Bronze Age) people in this area.

Burials and burial customs themselves are among the best sources of information about the “gender” structure of the surveyed society. The characteristics of “gender” in the Linear Pottery culture (LPC) are generally most often associated with everyday activities, in which both men and women played an irreplaceable role. However, the prevalent opinion in the scientific literature is that women and children had a lower social status than men, due to the smaller amount of grave goods, moreover “gender”-atypical, in case of women and their more frequent burial within settlements. The aim of the paper is to verify this hypothesis and a subsequent attempt to trace the potential “gender” specificity of the female grave inventory on selected sites of LPC using statistical analysis.

Settlement of the young Linear Pottery culture in the Zvolenská kotlina basin was first documented in the mid-20th c. The finds, however, were sporadic and unstratified; they were discovered during major construction works mainly in the southern part of the town’s residential area. The source fund was gradually extended with collected finds from the northern part of the town, the elevated terrace of the Hron river, the site of Podborová, which is famous for prehistorical multicultural settlement. Settlement features are unfortunately, very rare in most cases, since this part of the town was intensely built-up with blocks of flats or family houses and new construction activities are only occasional. First Neolithic features were detected at the site of Podborová as late as the 21st c. A rescue archaeological research carried out by the Department of Archaeology of the Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra in 2011 brought a rich new fund of sources containing pottery fragments, small clay items, chipped stone industry and daub. Although the number of artifacts is considerably high, they were found in the filling of only two features. In spite of this fact, a complex analysis of the discovered finds enabled us to make conclusions regarding relative chronology and genesis of the studied culture in the central Hron river region. Occurrence of the Bükk culture decorative ornament which has not been reliably documented in the central Hron river basin is an important new fact. Distant contacts of the settlement’s population are documented by rich chipped stone industry which (in case of flint and sub-Kraków Jurassic silicite) comes from the sources sometimes a few hundred kilometres far.

The subject of this paper is focused on the evaluation of the Neolithic settlement of a poly-cultural site in Bajč-Vlkanovo (dist. Komárno), processed within the earlier research on the site “Tehelňa“(also as Tehelňa “S“ or “Göböljárás“). Archaeological research excavation on this endangered and devastated site was carried out in 1959–1960, 1981 and 1982– 1983 by the Institute of Archaeology of SAS. During the excavation of rescue character in particular, larger amount of finds, especially pottery was collected from the pit backfills and cultural layer. 38 settlement pits are dated to the Neolithic period (Later linear pottery, Želiezovce group). Quantitative analysis of the Neolithic pottery was based on the model of descriptive database created on the numeric code used in the processing of other early Neolithic sites in Slovakia (e. g. Štúrovo, Bajč-Medzi kanálmi, Hurbanovo-Veľký Šárad).
