Linear Band Pottery (LBK), Stroked Pottery (SPC), Moravian Painted Ware (MPWC) cultures developed in Moravia during the Neolithic period. Based on the currently available radiocarbon dates, this period lasted for 1800 years. The LBK lasted for 550 years and the MPWC for 1150 years. There is a 100 year hiatus between these cultures, when Moravia was inhabited by people practicing the SPC. With increasing knowledge and more radiocarbon dates, it has become apparent that the current ideas about the development of the Neolithic need revision due to discrepancies between the traditional scheme and new empirical data. Chronology building on the basis of the 14C method is currently the most accurate dating technique for this period., Martin Kuča, Josef Jan Kovář, Miriam Nývltová Fišáková, Petr Škrdla, Lubomír Prokeš, Miroslav Vaškových, Zdeněk Schenk., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
Popůvky near Brno is a well known Neolithic locality. Rescue excavations carried out by the Institute of Archaeological Heritage Preservation (ÚAPP Brno) have provided new material for study. The analysis of this material has provided new information relevant to the chronology of human occupation. The site has been investigated by carrying out surface prospecting over a long period. Analyses of the recently excavated material are presented with an emphasis on the Moravian Painted Ware culture settlement (O. Lečbychová), accumulations of surface fi nds with analyses of Šárec type Linear pottery settlement (M. Kuča) and analyses of a ground stone industry from the rescue excavation and surface fi nds (M. Vokáč)., Olga Lečbychová, Martin Kuča, Milan Vokáč., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
Polycultural locality in Kuřim with prevailing Neolithic settlement was partly excavated in rescue research, which was carried out by Ústav archeologické památkové péče Brno. Moravian Painted Ware Culture represents insignifi cant component of this settlement. The excavated pottery was chronologically classifi ed into the end of its earlier phase. Regarding objects, there was gained not a very large collection of chipped and polished stone industry. The results of analysis of stone industry contribute to mapping of distribution network of stone material during Neolithic in the north of Brno, mainly in relation to Boskovická brázda, which was an important long-distance communication in prehistory., Martin Kuča., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
