Abstract:Excavations of four barrows in the Małopolska Uplands, at Mierzanów I and II, Kolosy and Żerniki Górne have produced new stratigraphie evidence that has made it possible to establish much more precisely the périodisation of the Corded Ware culture in that part of Poland. Two periods have been distinguished: I - the barrow period, and II - the niche grave period. Period I was preceded by a stage which left behind it loose finds of type A battle-axes. This preliminary stage and phase I of the barrow period have been assigned to the "Pan-European Horizon". On the basic of planigraphic-typological analysis of the cemetery at Żerniki Górne, the niche grave period has been divided into two phases, an earlier and a later. Two other chronological horizons have been distinguished, too : the Ślęża Axe horizon, and the horizon with vessels of the Książnice Wielkie type. The character of the latter horizon proves that at the beginning of the niche grave period the Corded Ware culture absorbed elements of the Funnel Beaker culture, which shows that at least until that time they were contemporaneous. Owing to a study of the burial customs, it has been possible to discover the main trends in the evolution of the people of the Corded Ware culture. This society developed from small patriarchal groups with an economy based on herding and stock-rearing, to more settled larger groups with no trącej of social inequality, who based their existence on stockrearing and crop-growing. The results of anthropological researches, which showed that during the niche grave period waves of people of south-eastern, steppe origin may have arrived here, are taken into account
