Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on the settlements of the Funnel Beaker Culture (FBC) in the Grabia River Basin, relatively small part of Central Poland, covering an area of 813 km2. The Grabia Basin project, to which this paper is linked, was based upon multidisciplinary archaeological research (1982—1998 field seasons) that focused in particular on the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age periods (mainly the FBC period). The aims of this project were to identify chronology, internal organization of FBC villages, social organization, population size, and economy.
