Summary/Abstract: The research conducted at site 7 in Krzyż Wielkopolski has provided evidence of long-term occupation of this area from the Late Palaeolithic (Sviderian) to the modern era. Undoubtedly the most intensive occupation is related to the Early Mesolithic communities of the Preboreal and Boreal Periods. However, pottery fragments, flint tools, and perhaps also belemnite artefacts, all associated with societies of the Corded Ware culture, prove Late Neolithic settlement at the site. That is the focus of this article. Based on the macroscopic analysis of pottery fragments, two technological groups were distinguished, suggesting heterogeneity of the collection. This may indicate at least two stages of settlement related to Corded Ware culture communities.
