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
The reported research in Malżyce, site no. 30, situated on one of the of the vast loess-covered elevations of the Małopolska Upland has brought valuable data on the Funnel Beaker (TRB) and the Corded Ware (CWC) cultures in West Małopolska. The central grave of the TRB barrow was accompanied by five chronologically younger graves of the CWC and three graves of the Early Bronze Age Mierzanowice culture. In the TRB grave two vessels and a flint trapezium were found. In its size and constructional traits the Malżyce TRB barrow is analogous to various CWC features of this type. But becouse of its dating – the TRB tumulus in Malżyce cannot be regarded as a valid argument for deriving CWC burial mounds from TRB structures., Krysztof Tunia, Piotr Włodarczak., and Obsahuje seznam literatury

This article presents a Moravian Painted Ware culture site Březník in the Czech-Moravian Highlands. The emphasis is on evaluation of surface finds in the „Střední hon“ field and assessing the archaeological material and geographical aspects. The new findings are placed in a regional context with regard to the area between Oslava and Chvojnice rivers as well as in the wider context (southwest Moravia). We also compared it to a nearby Moravian Painted Ware site located in the „Zadní hon“ field. Interestingly, although Březník is located on the periphery of the known Neolithic occupation zone, the peripheral effect is not apparent at this site (as it is at other sites considered to be located on the periphery). One particularity of this region is a high concentration of muscovite (obtained from local schist outcrops) in the ceramic matter. The lithic sources are mostly local and regional (Brno Massif, Boskovice Furrow and Krumlovský Les cherts). There are also some raw materials imported from great distances (metabazite of the Jizerské hory type, obsidian, erratic chert and Polish cherts). Based on the chronology, material culture and geographical position, Březník – „Střední hon“ can be placed into the early phase Ib (Lengyel I) of the Moravian Painted ware culture., Jaroslav Bartík, Lenka Běhounková, Martin Kuča., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
