Early Neolithic Flint Assemblages from the Targowisko Settlement Region

Abstract

The article presents flint materials obtained from domestic facilities from the late phase of “Linienbandkeramik” from the Brzezie 40 and Targowisko 16 sites and the classic phase of the Malice culture from the 14–15 Targowisko site. These complexes contain relatively few monuments. Their advantage, however, is that they belong to chronologically compact groups. Since the relics of the discovered houses are spatially isolated from other settlement structures, it can be assumed that the set of flint artifacts belonging to them is relatively homogeneous. Thanks to this, they can contribute considerably to the discussion on the processes of cultural heterogenization and the origin of post-LBK cultures, including the Malice culture.

Neolithic Flintworking of the Samborzec-Opatów Group in Lesser Poland in the Light of Settlement Materials from Tonie 9 Site, Kraków Commune

“…On the one hand, this contrasts with the raw material structure of other S-O inventories, and on the other hand, it sheds light on a certain difference in relation to the Malice culture inventories, in which obsidian is sometimes quite numerous (cf. Kaczanowska and Kozłowski 2006;Szeliga 2007;Wilczyński 2010;Wąs 2021).…”

Some Remarks on Social and Symbolic Significance of the Early Neolithic Longhouses Based on the Applications and Spatial Distribution of Ground Stone Type Tools. The Case of the Linear Pottery Sites from Lesser Poland

“…Osteological material or daub fragments are less frequently found. The most diverse site in this regard was Modlnica 5, where stone finds were discovered together with pottery, flint, bone, daub fragments and even an amber fragment and an anthropomorphic figure (Czerniak et al 2011;Wąs 2021). Targowisko 12/13 differs significantly.…”
