The paper presents a Neolithic feature discovered in trench G of the widely-known Paleolithic Gravettian site at Kraków Spadzista. Pottery and lithic artefacts as well as archaeobotanical data and radiocarbon dates demonstrate the existence of a stable human occupation with an agricultural economy. Due to the small number of  distinctive fragments of pottery, both the Wyciąże-Złotniki group and the Funnel Beaker culture have to be taken into account in the discussion on the cultural attribution of the feature. The obtained absolute dates make a connection with the latter unit more probable.

In spring 2019, rescue excavations were conducted at Goszcza 1 (Kielnik) site in connection with construction of a dwelling house. As a result, eleven archaeological features of various chronology were identified. The most abundant materials, dating to the Late Classic period of the Baden culture in Lesser Poland (the end of the 4th millennium and the beginning of the 3th millennium BC), were found in four pits. At the bottom of two features (nos 4 and 6) human skeletons were discovered. In the present study, only materials discovered in features attributed to the Baden culture are discussed, including pottery finds, flint artefacts, and fragments of human and animal bones. Macroscopic plant remains coming from three archaeological features have also been investigated.

This paper presents the Štramberk type arrowheads found during excavations in Spytkowice in 1993 and 2019. They represent a local Eneolithic phenomenon known mostly from the Moravia region and Silesia on both sides of the Polish-Czech border. However, some examples from outside of this area are discussed as well. The main aim is to present them against the background of other artefacts of this type, and against Eneolithic arrowheads in general. The phenomenon in question seems to be intercultural and its origins may be connected with late Lengyel culture groups, although such arrowheads were also found in Funnel Beaker culture contexts and, as suggested by some researchers, may continue even as late as the Early Bronze Age.
