The evaluation is based on a multivariate analysis of the stylistic features of 130 human face vessels from 91 Central European Neolithic sites of the Linear Pottery culture and the Alföld Linear Pottery culture, and is conducted with the help of multiple correspondence analysis (MCA). The main objective of the research is to find the closest analogies of the Biskupice by tracking similarities between the manner of execution of the combination of facial elements and accompanying motifs appearing on the Biskupice vessel and on other depictions of the human face. This investigation also aims to make inferences about the chrono-cultural connections of the first agrarian societies in the area of the Carpathian foothills with other regions of the Linear Pottery world}, title={The Linear Pottery culture face vessel from the site Biskupice 18, southern Poland}, type={Text}, URL={http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/Content/236743/270220.pdf}, keywords={Linear Pottery culture, early Neolithic, anthropomorphic representation, face vessels, multivariate statistics}, }
