It then proposes an interpretation of social organization and change based on theories taken from the social sciences. The main aim is to investigate these issues as they have been presented by different schools and currents within archaeology from the mid-19th century to present times. Evolutionist, culture-historical, Marx ist, functionalist and processual archaeologies have based their ideas of social change on an organic metaphor of society, rooted deeply in the classic views of 19th-century social sciences. Post-processual archaeology has been the only one to adopt other concepts of society, drawn from various sociological theories, e.g. those of Bourdieu, Habermas, Gid dens, or Sztompka.

An important role is played by the so-called retouched blade-daggers, produced using this retouching technique. They were part of the equipment for the graves of men considered to be members of the local elite. They appeared in a similar context only in the early Eneolithic Skelya culture in the Black Sea steppes and are dated from at least 4500 to 4100 BC. Specimens from the steppes must have been a source and act as a model for imitation in the production of analogous artefacts in the latter culture. The lack of retouched blade-daggers in Trypillia and Malice culture proves that the Lublin-Volhynia culture population took them directly from the Skelya culture. This adaptation took place no later than 4100 BC, when the Lublin-Volhynia culture population already had their own elite, ready to use retouched blade-daggers.

analyzes have been appearing, which are in contradiction
with the current social interpretations of such cultural phenomena as
Varna, Castellic, Brześć Kujawski or Gumelniţa Culture from the mid
of 5th millennium (4700/4500–4300 BC) in Europe. Therefore, there is
an urgent need to revise the previous assessments and supplement
them with observations made from a different theoretical perspective.
It has been proposed that the concepts that emphasize the hierarchical
dimension in studies of society should be supplemented with those
elements that result from adopting a different point of view, i.e. heterarchy.
Similarly was done with the regional point of view, which was
supplemented with a globalization perspective. This treatment was
carried out in order to answer the question whether the Varna I burial
ground was an isolated phenomenon with advanced hierarchy processes,
or was it a part of a wider process of globalization?

It has been assumed that the most effective tool for analyzing this process on a macro scale is a set of concepts and rules constituting the theory of globalization (Hodos 2017). Cultural analysis (Wuthnow 1987), on the other hand, considers conflict as the main driving force of deep changes on a micro scale. Globalization is a form of connectivity that is the price humans pay to access resources that satisfy their desire for status and wellbeing. A common human pursuit is the desire to achieve a higher status and to improve one’s own wellbeing. People, realizing their intentions and aspirations, enter into conflicts which can potentially be one of the main sources of crises, and thus also of cultural change. Keywords: Neolithisation, SE Poland, Linear Band Pottery culture, globalization, ...

The artifacts in question have been obtained by chance in the course of the excavations of multi-culture sites. For that reason the materials contain an admixture from the Stone Age (flint artifacts) or of the Strzyzow culture (a few pottery fragments). Most of the sites are linked with the early phase of the Mierzanowice culture (Tadani, Novyj Jarycev, Velikije Mosty, Grincuki, Dubravka, Pravda, and Gijce). The other three sites (a cemetery and settlement at Leznica, and a settlement at Zimno) have yielded rare and important material of the classic phase of the culture of our interest. Flint sickles known in the area suggest that new sites of the late phase of the Mierzanowice culture may be registered in the near future.

The review of the Bamberg 'Runder Tisch' by Lohrke indicates that many people are indeed trying to understand what the curious changes in the material culture and modes of settlement and burial in Europe between c. 2500 and 1500 BC really meant. It is exciting to see new work on the environment of so famous and long-studied a site as Troy (Riehl, reviewed by JaÈ ger), and to ®nd that consideration is being given not merely to the plants being utilized there, but to the ®elds within which they were grown ± a much under-studied area of research. A more traditional study is represented by that of Souyoudzoglou-Haywood on the Ionian Islands, but as Andreou points out, this was a gap that badly needed to be ®lled. Finally, I can only echo Philip Kohl's remarks about the tremendous value and importance of the work of the Deutsches ArchaÈ ologisches Institut ± Eurasien-Abteilung, as shown by the magni®cent publication Eurasia Antiqua. Many of us will have read and pro®ted from the vast range of articles printed in the ®rst ®ve volumes, and have been astonished at the range (geographical, temporal, thematic) of work being done under the auspices of that Institute. The presentation of Russian and other work in translation is a great service. Those of us who work in countries far less generous with funds for archaeological research can only wonder at, and be grateful for, the sterling efforts of Professor Parzinger and his colleagues. This short selection of books, while not representing all types of current work or all shades of opinion, nevertheless gives a fair idea of the sorts of preoccupations that are engaging Bronze Age scholars at present. They are for the most part sophisticated attempts at assembling data and working with it. Those of us who work on the Bronze Age can only be encouraged that Bronze Age studies are thriving. This is part of a generation of books that will set the agenda for young scholars, who will show the older hands how to take the subject forward.

Kozłowskiej-podał B. Balcer 1. Jest ona jednak w kilku punktach nieścisła (wymiary zabytków) i niepełna (brak danych o stanowisku). Charakterystyka ta została zamieszczona w rozdziale poświęconym młodszemu okresowi w rozwoju krzemieniarstwa cyklu lendzielsko-polgarskiego. Autor zastrzegł jednak, że przynależność kulturowa tego składu wiórów pozostaje nieokreślona. W dalszej części pracy 2 łączy on jednoznacznie wymieniony skład z kulturą pucharów lejkowatych (dalej KPL). Sytuacja taka stwarza możliwości dowolnego klasyfikowania omawianych zabytków w zależności od konkretnych potrzeb badawczych 3. Niezbędne jest więc sięgnięcie do informacji znajdujących się w archiwum Muzeum w Krasnymstawie (nr inwentarza MK/A/127/1-13) i do samych zabytków. Współodkrywczyni stanowiska, p. M. Droździel, zamieszkała w Wincentowie 33, przekazała wiadomość, że na wióry natknięto się przypadkowo w czasie eksploatacji torfu w dolinie rzeki Bzdurki (ryc. 1A). Zalegały one na różnych głębokościach: od ok. 0,5 m do ok. 1,5 m od poziomu gruntu. Informatorka nie potrafiła udzielić odpowiedzi na pytanie, ile wiórów wówczas wydobyto. Zapis w muzealnej księdze inwentarzowej sugeruje, że było ich 13 sztuk. W takiej też liczbie zostały one przekazane do muzeum przez ofiarodawcę, p. T. Skubisza. Stanowisko nr 5 w Wincentowie położone jest w południowej części Obniżenia Dorohuckiego na pograniczu Wyżyny Lubelskiej i Polesia Wołyńskiego. Leży ono na dnie mułowo-bagiennej doliny Bzdurki, prawego dopływu środkowego Wieprza. Teren przylegający do stanowiska bezpośrednio od północy pokryty jest glebami bielicowymi wytworzonymi z piasków zglinionych i glin zwałowych, a na południu glebami piaszczystymi. Zachodni brzeg doliny Wieprza oraz południowy okraj kompleksu gleb gliniastych pokrywają gleby wytworzone z utworów lessowych (ryc. 1B). Krajobraz den dolinnych równin poleskich, charakterystyczny dla Obniżenia Dorohuckiego, styka się tam z krajobrazem wyżynnym rzeźbionym w lessie, typowym dla Wyniosłości Giełczewskiej i Działów Grabowieckich oraz skał węglanowych Pagórów Chełmskich. Wśród 13 dostarczonych wiórów z krzemienia wołyńskiego (ryc. 2, 3, 4) 11 okazów wyróżnia się jasnobrązową, matową "patyną", która pokrywa równomiernie całe ich powierzchnie. Charakteryzuje ona krzemień, który przez długi czas narażony był na działanie środowiska bagiennego.

As part of this programme in 1967-9 and 1971-3 Professor Jan Machnik conducted archaeological investigations at Iwanowice on a wedge-shaped elevation known as Babia Góra (50 12 14 E, 19 58 30 W, FIGURE 1). The site, some 8 ha in area (520 × 230 m), lies on the borderline between the Cracow-Częstochowa and Miechów Uplands, some 20 km north of Crakow on a hill spur overlooking the Dłubnia river valley. Babia Góra is built of siliceous limestone heavily laced with flint nodules covered by a thick mantle of loess. The entire area of the site is now under cultivation.

Materiały z obu stanowisk należą do technokompleksu obejmującego kulturę Vinca poziomu В w Jugosławii i kulturę Dudeęti w Rumunii. Zasadniczą podstawę rozważań stanowi zespół ze stan. w miejscowości Usoe, który dostarczył 1296 okazów drapaczy. Zespół z drugiego stanowiska w Podgoritsa, liczący tylko 84 drapaczy, jest uzupełnieniem poprzedniego. Autor nie definiuje pojęcia "drapacz". Przechodzi natychmiast do prezentacji i analizy zmienności wewnątrz tej grupy narzędziowej wg schematu klasyfikacyjnego D. de Sonneville-Bordes i J. Perrota. Wnosić stąd należy, że zakres pojęciowy "drapaczy" pokrywa się z przyjętym w wyżej wymienionym schemacie. Podejście to jest zgodne z poglądami Dolukhanova, J.K. Kozłowskiego i S.K. Kozłowskiego 1 o nieweryfikowalności środkami metod numerycznych tradycyjnych typologii, opartych na kryteriach morfo-i technologicznych, oraz o wystarczalności intuicyjnych zasad wyróżniania klas typologicznych podstawowych grup narzędziowych. Wieloaspektowa analiza tego typu pozwoliła autorowi na sklasyfikowanie dysponowanego materiału w obrębie 11 podtypów listy de Sonneville-Bordes i Perrota (podtypy: 1,
