Abstract

The article is an attempt to characterize and assess the intensity of far-reaching, intercultural contacts of the LBK community from the Sandomierz Upland and its northern foreland with the Eastern Linear cultural groups from the northeastern part of the Carpathian Basin. The basis for these considerations was the discovery of diagnostic material (pottery, obsidian products) from the Sandomierz region—in particular, from one of the largest inventories of this type in the Vistula basin: the settlement site Tominy 6. Important data in this context were also provided by products made of Chocolate and Świeciechów flints from the Świętokrzyskie Mountains Region discovered within the Transcarpathian zone. The entire collection of findings reveals the previously unknown and very large-scale bilateral, intercultural relations between the LBK communities of the Sandomierz settlement cluster and the younger phase of Alföld-LBK groups, especially the Bükk Culture, settled in eastern Slovakia, or more precisely in the Košice Valley and East-Slovak Lowland.
