Abstract

At the end of the fourth millennium BC, in the areas of the western Małopolska, existing Funnel Beaker culture structures south of the Szreniawa river has been disintegrated and replaced by the settlement of allochthonous Baden culture. North of the river, the development of the FBC still continued strongly influenced by the Baden culture leading to the specific form of the syncretic FB-BC. In this period only a few, but very extensive, central settlements surrounded by smaller sites remained active. The most important of them is located settlement Bronocice, dist. Pińczów, fortified in the youngest phase of use. Apart from the Bronocice, only e few other sites, surrounded by ditches, belong to this horizon. Three of them are recognized almost exclusively by non-invasive methods: in Gniazdowice dist. Proszowice, Muniaczkowice, dist. Proszowice,  and in Marchocice dist. Miechów. Another site is Miechów, dist. Loco was excavated.
