On the presence of the Bodrogkeresztúr culture pottery in Dąbki

Year 2011 brought about groundbreaking news about the presence of imported pottery from the Bodrogkeresztúr culture milieu at the Pomeranian site in Dąbki. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the weakness of the arguments put forth since then to support this thesis. This polemic is complementary to the earlier critical remarks that connected the finds with the post‐Rössen ceramic making tradition, and as such does not present any alternative genetic interpretation of the presence of the discussed pottery fragments at this site. It is focused purely on the deconstruction of the context of justification of the challenged concept in this part thereof, which concerns the inferences on the pottery of the Bodrogkeresztúr culture. As the present counterargument partially relies on a reassessed absolute chronological sequence of the Polgár complex at the stage of the Middle Eneolithic/Copper Age, the underpinning ‘chronological lemma’ is also presented (as an appendix).
