Abstract

This study examines Neolithic pottery from Zagaje Smrokowskie, site 10, which features a burdock leaf imprint on one of the vessel bottoms. Burdock has been present in human settlements across vast areas of Eurasia, as evidenced by numerous findings of its macroremians. However, this is the first finding of a burdock leaf imprint on Neolithic pottery in Poland. The identification of leaf imprints on pottery enhances our understanding of pottery production techniques and provides valuable insight into the local flora.
