Pottery, cultures, people? The European Baden material re-examined

Antiquity, 2008

The Baden culture, like others in central Europe, has long been assumed to be the material indication of a people. In a searing analytical deconstruction, the author shows that 'Baden' pottery has no equivalence with other cultural practices, and is itself an amalgam of a number of different pottery fabrics and styles, many of them regionally diverse. Singled out among them is the early Boreláz fine ware which is actively spread in central Europe, perhaps accompanied by a knowledge of the first wheeled vehicles.

New settlement of the Baden culture at site 8 in Kraków-Bieżanów, Lesser Poland

The Baden culture around the Western Carpathians eds. M. Nowak, A. Zastawny; „Via Archaeologica. Źródła z badań wykopaliskowych na trasie autostrady A4 w Małopolsce” , 2015

Site 8 in Kraków-Bieżanów is located on a promontory-like ramification of the northern slope of the Kaim Hill and reaches up to 231 m a.s.l. In the period between 2000 and 2007, rescue excavations that were connected with the construction of motorway A4 were conducted at the site. The site is a vast settlement complex representing human inhabitancy from the Late Palaeolithic up until modern times. In total, an area of 4,36 ha was explored. Amongst the discovered remains, 8 features, as well as 3393 pottery fragments that were found within both the features and the cultural layer, were ascribed to the Baden culture. Moreover, 3 clay spindle whorls and 27 flint artefacts of the culture in question were obtained from the features. Attention should be paid to feature 422, which had a deposit of ceramic cups that was placed in a characteristic alignment; this deposit has close analogues among other assemblages of the Baden culture. Characteristics of the earthenware, as well as radiocarbon dating obtained from feature 511, allow the dating of the assemblage discussed herein to the late classical Baden horizon.
