Abstract:

It is a preliminary report of a research project investigating a hunters-fishermen’s settlement from the 4th millennium B.C. It was located on the sandy island on the lake near the shore of the Baltic Sea. The activities of the settlements inhabitants have also left their traces on the shore of the island. Peat trenches have yielded a number of organic matter artefacts and pottery, while in sand trenches flint and stone objects were found. The activities of the groups inhabiting (ca. 4200-3200 B.C.) the island were fishing, hunting and gathering. Pig and cattle husbandry was of little significance. Its role, however, increased during the whole of the 4th millennium. Animal and fish bones indicate that land area was mainly exploited, and the sea played an insignificant role. The groups had contacts with farmers. This has been confirmed by imports of pottery and stone tools. The author regards the artefacts from Dąbki near Darłowo as a Polish variety of the Ertebølle circle
