"Stabilitas loci" of inhabitants of the Stroked Pottery site in JaromAL(TM) (Eastern Bohemia, Czech Republic)

The studied settlement site in JaromÄL(TM) is one of the few large-scale excavations from the late Neolithic in Bohemia. It was settled in both the earlier and later phase of the Stroked Pottery Culture (hereinafter referred to as STK, 5100/5000 - 4500/4400 cal BC). In the later phase the excavated houses were concentrated into noticeable spatial structures - rows. By way of comparative analysis the building type (recognized by house plans) and the artefacts belonging to individual rows, we worked out and tested several models concerning settlement structures and development of the settlement. On the basis of the analysis of spatial and chronological interaction of these rows it was impossible to confirm the traditional typo-chronological scheme and the question arises, whether the differences in the material of both studied groups reflect different time and social schemes on the Neolithic site.
