Abstract

Skołoszów 16 – A Spatial Arrangement of the Eneolithic Settlement of the Funnel Beaker Culture in the Rzeszów Foothills (South-Eastern Poland) in the Light of Previous Excavations and Geophysical Survey

Highlights

  • Much progress has been made in studies on the settlement patterns of the Eneolithic Funnel Beaker culture in the eastern part of the Rzeszów Foothills in south-eastern Poland

  • In the context of these features, as well as the cultural layer we have identified numerous Funnel Beaker culture (FBC) sherd and flint assemblages

  • The results of the interdisciplinary research confirmed the presence of the remains of a large Eneolithic FBC settlement at Skołoszów 16

Summary

Introduction

Much progress has been made in studies on the settlement patterns of the Eneolithic Funnel Beaker culture (hereinafter FBC) in the eastern part of the Rzeszów Foothills in south-eastern Poland. During rescue archaeological investigations preceding the construction of the A4 highway, non-megalithic long barrows (Król et al, 2014) and spatially-diverse stable settlements – previously unknown in this area – were excavated (e.g. Rybicka et al, 2014; 2016; Dębiec et al, 2015; Sznajdrowska, 2016). These results shed new light on FBC settlement patterns in south-eastern Poland (cf Czopek and Kadrow, 1987; Zych, 2008; Nowak, 2009). One of the most significant achievements of these investigations was the identification of a new settlement in Skołoszów 16 – one of the largest FBC sites located south of the upper Vistula (cf Rybicka et al, 2014; Król, 2017; 2018) This settlement was discovered in 2016 during a surface survey mission. It was decided to use this method to investigate Skołoszów 16, which was comprised of the same geological formation of loess sediments, providing a clear magnetic background
