Abstract

This study aimed to reveal the transformations in pottery production in the Linear Pottery culture. In the course of longstanding analyses of archaeological materials from Lesser Poland, a few technological groups of this pottery were distinguished. A significant change in the preparation of ceramic fabrics was recorded in the late LBK phase, namely the Želiezovce phase. The objective of this study was to gather all data and confront it with the most recent findings from the sites of Targowisko and Brzezie. Based on the investigations, it was established that the major indicators of the late LBK phases were the occurrence of grog admixture, a significantly less common application of chaff admixture, and a smaller contribution of ceramic fabrics tempered with sand. In the light of the chronology of the materials under scrutiny, a distinctive predominance of ceramic fabrics with grog admixture was observed when compared with the set of ceramic bodies previously analysed.
