[in:] From farmers to heroes?: archaeological studies in honor of Slawomir Kadrow, ed by. M. Dębiec, J. Górski, J. Müller, M. Nowak, A. Pelisiak, T. Saile, and P. Włodarczak, Dr. Rudolf Habelt 2022, vol. 376, Universitätsforschungen zur Prähistorischen Archäologie, pp. 121–131., 2022

(LBK) on the northern fringes of the Kampinos Forest in Mazovia, which in terms of physical geography means in the Warsaw Basin region.
Disregarding the archival sites of unknown locations, 14 LBK sites are currently known from the area, of which two have been excavated on
a small scale. Their collective presentation is an important voice in the discussion on the Neolithization of the Polish Lowlands and, more broadly,
on the nature of migration and settlement of the earliest Danubian communities in Central Europe. The sparse LBK remains long known from
the Warsaw Basin (and, more broadly, Mazovia) have been presented in the literature as accidental, isolated traces of short-term occupation,
stopovers on the journey from the loess uplands of Lesser Poland along the Vistula River to the ultimate destination of Kuyavia with its fertile
black earths. However, a review of the results of the research carried out to date suggests the LBK remains in the Warsaw Basin should instead be
interpreted as a small settlement microregion, comprised of about a dozen small but permanent settlements. Further research can be expected
to reveal the temporal extent of this occupation. This study is meant as the first step in that direction, and as a call for undertaking more such
research in the region.

Diese Vielfalt der Lebenswege zu untersuchen war Gegenstand der Sitzung der AG Neolithikum im Rahmen der 80. Tagung des Nordwestdeutschen Verbandes für Altertumsforschung in Lübeck am 2. und 3. September 2013.
Zwölf der Tagungsbeiträge werden in diesem Band publiziert: Es handelt sich dabei um Fallbeispiele zu bestimmten Regionen und Themenfeldern, die natürlich keine umfassende Übersicht des gesamten Jahrtausends geben können, dafür jedoch wertvolle Einblicke in die aktuelle Forschung zu diesem Zeitraum in Deutschland und Europa ermöglichen.
Die Sitzung der AG Neolithikum am 16. und 17. April 2012 in Brandenburg a. d. Havel widmete sich schwerpunktmäßig dem Thema „Kulturkontakt und Kommunikation“ anhand von Fallbeispielen aus verschiedenen Regionen, von der Ägäis über den Balkanraum bis ins nördliche Mitteleuropa. Im vorliegenden Band werden zehn der Tagungsbeiträge veröffentlicht, wovon sich acht mit dem engeren Tagungsthema und zwei weitere mit aktuellen Forschungen zum Neolithikum in Norddeutschland befassen.
