The study involved analysis of 49 samples of Neolithic pottery from the Modlnica 5 site where three archaeological societies succeeded one another over a period of two thousand years: the Malice culture, the Funnel Beaker culture and the Corded Ware culture. The local environment underwent both anthropogenically and natu¬rally induced change and we indirectly infer these transformations through the identification of the different raw materials used in pottery production. We have established that Miocene clay was accessible in the early Neolithic, on the evidence of microfauna in the clay. However, only alluvial deposits were recognized in the Corded Ware ceramics. These data show that Miocene sediments were not available around 2400 BC}, title={Environmental changes – conclusions on the basis of research on Neolithic pottery from site Modlnica 5, Kraków district}, type={Text}, keywords={Neolithic, pottery petrography, environment}, }
