Abstract
In recent years, a considerable number of radiocarbon dates have been obtained from Funnel Beaker culture sites of various functions, located in the eastern part of the Rzeszow Foothills. In a group of a few dozen dates,there are some that suggest, on the basis of the probability distribution, that representatives of communities of this culture might have been present on the area ca. 3900-3800 BC. However, such dating may be disputable. Attempts in recent years to confront such early dates with contextual ceramic materials have not provided satisfactory answers to this question. This paper is focused on an assessment of the potential of absolute chronology determinations and their analytic values. After eliminating all questionable dates, statistic simulations of the chronology of the local Funnel Beaker culture have been made. The results obtained suggest that this phenomenon might have been more short-lived than so far believed.
