RESULTS OF MINERALOGICAL AND PETROGRAPHIC RESEARCH ON VESSELS OF LINEAR BAND POTTERY CULTURE AND MALICE CULTURE FROM SITES BRZEZIE 17 AND TARGOWISKO 11, KLAJ COMMUNE, MALOPOLSKA PROVINCE

The authors present the results of research on vessels from two sites from Malopolska region. The objective of the research was to determine the mineralogical and petrographic composition of ceramic masses and identify purposeful admixtures (e.g. organic materials) in the ceramics of the Linear Band Pottery Culture and Malice Culture. As a result of the conducted research, several important determinations have been made - especially according to mineral composition of ceramic masses, function of a vessel, temperature of firing, source of materials for production.
