Abstract
It is clear that not only cultural backgrounds for the Bell Beakers in
north and south Poland are different, but also that the Bell Beakers
in these two parts of the country vary. The authors deal with the
northern zone (Pomerania, Wielkopolska and Kujawy regions) where
strong connections are observed with the Single Grave Culture (from
northern Germany and Jutland) and with the regional Corded Ware
Culture. Bell Beaker traits are recorded there mostly on settlements
and not in burials. A long typochronological Bell Beaker sequence
is established and their important role in the long-lasting cultural
developments in the region is proposed.
