“…For all three credibly dated GAC features, 2 very similar results were obtained, indicating the chronological bracket of c. 2870-2620 BC. These results are compatible with other radiocarbon determinations for GAC sites on the Sandomierz Upland, including the cemeteries in Złota-Gajowizna site [Witkowska et al 2020], Malice [Witkowska et al 2021, Table 2], Sadowie [Pasterkiewicz 2020] and settlements in Mierzanowice and Gałkowice-Ocinek [Florek, Witkowska 2021]. Moreover, a similar age is suggested by determinations obtained for the other GAC settlement pits on the Nad Wawrem site in Złota [Florek, Witkowska 2021].…”

On the Nad Wawrem site in Złota, unique instances of stratigraphic sequences were recorded, involving materials linked to the Globular Amphora culture and Corded Ware culture. This article discusses these sequences and presents hitherto unpublished materials that may contribute to the study of the decline of the Eneolithic in Małopolska. The stratigraphic sequences involve the presence of pottery belonging to the older phase of the Corded Ware culture in pits related to the Globular Amphora culture and the intercutting of Globular Amphora settlement features by Corded Ware graves. In settlement pits, besides dominating materials of the Globular Amphora culture, pottery typical of the older phase of the Corded Ware culture was discovered. Corded Ware niche graves, in turn, were clearly younger than the Globular Amphora settlement pits they cut into. The study of the sequences reveals the complexity of cultural relations on the Sandomierz Upland in the first half of the 3rd millennium BC. An interesting aspect is the cross-border nature of the pottery often treated as a clear cultural marker. Substantiated by absolute dating, the synchronous development model of the Globular Amphora culture, the older phase of the Corded Ware culture and the Złota culture is reflected in the peculiarity of recorded pottery assemblages.

“…We must keep in mind, however, that the latter site has been only partly excavated, making the reconstructions of both plan and range of the GAC cemetery mostly hypothetical (see Ścibior and Ścibior 1990). Another 'Gajowizna-like' GAC necropolis was discovered as recently as in 2015 at site 23 in Sadowie, Opatów district, about 30 km to the north-west of Polanów (Mackiewicz et al 2016;Pasterkiewicz 2017;2020). Archaeological work at the cemetery is still ongoing.…”

“…Witkowska et al 2020, 267). For example, 'sacrificial pits' found in the Sadowie necropolis were typically equipped with at least 1-3 vessels, sometimes accompanied by flint tools or even tusks of a wild boar (Pasterkiewicz 2017, 285;2020). At the same time, the two remaining GAC cemeteries with animal deposits from the Sandomierz Upland -Malice, Sandomierz district, site 1 (Kamieńska 1964) and the above-mentioned site 78 in Sandomierz (Ścibior and Ścibior 1990) -yielded only 'sacrificial pits' with no pottery goods.…”

“…Without doubt, establishing a chronological framework for the famous cemetery makes a vital contribution to the ongoing discussion concerning the time-frame of the GAC in the Sandomierz Upland (e.g. Włodarczak 2017, 284, 285;Pasterkiewicz 2020). The absolute chronology of the Złota-Gajowizna site matches the radiocarbon dates obtained for the ZC graves from the nearby necropolises at Złota-Nad Wawrem and Złota-Grodzisko I (see above), revisiting a century-old question about the nature of the relationships between GAC and ZC communities.…”

The article presents results of a special project aimed at re-examining the grave associated with the Globular Amphora culture in the Sandomierz Upland. The main purpose was to obtain data to establish the absolute chronology of the graves. In total, the reported project produced 25 absolute age determinations of samples from 17 sepulchral features. Some determinations are second attempts to date the same sample in an effort to make calibrated BC ranges more accurate. The samples selected for analyses were taken from osteological material coming from human graves and associated animal deposits (twelve and five features, respectively). The graves discussed in the paper come from Gajowizna (known as Złota-Gajowizna), Sandomierz-Kruków, Mierzanowice, site 1, and Malice, site 1. The determinations fit into the range from 4225 ± 25 BP to 4040 ± 35 BP, with the highest concentration occurring in the period of 4200 ± 40–4100 ± 35 BP (18 determinations), or in calibrated years 2901–2577 BC (1 sigma) or 2901–2498 BC (2 sigma). The highest calibration probability, amounting in the case of all the dates to almost 90%, is cumulated in the range of 2870–2600 BC (2 sigma). Summing up, the new age determinations of samples from cemeteries on the Sandomierz Upland are consistent with the knowledge on the chronology of the Globular Amphora culture - Małopolska group gathered by using the traditional typological method and referring to dates for neighbouring regions. The time bracket defined by the new series of radiocarbon dates from the Sandomierz Upland begs important questions about relationships of the Globular Amphora culture communities with other Late and Final Neolithic groups that lived there in the first half of the 3rd millennium BC related to the Złota and Corded Ware cultures.
