Summary/Abstract: The article summarizes the results of studies of the Lusatian and Silesian cultures and their neighbours by the jubilee, notably of those projects conducted in fruitful collaboration with the undersigned, including the yet unsolved aspects. It sketches the possible ways to reach new targets in the fields of refining comparative chronologies of the Urnfield cultures in Czech lands and their vicinity, of houses, organisation of settlements and cemeteries, changing density of population in the frame of several climatic changes, Cimmerian raids and more or less successful adaptations to challenges.
