Highlights

In considerations concerning the chronology of the Later Stone Age, we find reflections referring to the GAC
Jan Kowalczyk was a researcher of the Neolithic who marked his presence in the process of understanding the GAC in the following ways: 1) Looking for a “cradle”, he modified the concept of a northern localization of its home territories, pointing to the area of the lower Vistula, at the interface with the Pit-and-Comb Pottery culture, in the zone of megalithic influences reaching from west of the lower Odra
Summary
The present paper discusses the scientific and popular science publications by Jan Kowalczyk referring to the Globular Amphora culture and presents the scholar’s achievements in acquiring and popularising knowledge about this taxonomic unit. Debuting in the scientific literature, he described, among other things, the accidental discovery of an “amphoral” grave at Stok, Puławy district on the Nałęczów Plateau (1949: 136). He maintained this interest until he retired. There were 24 scientific and popular science texts by this author in which the “amphoral” issue was the leading theme or appeared in the wider context of research into the Neolithic (Zakościelna 1997; Zakościelna and Gurba 2007: 387)
