The article submits theses of Tomasz Chmielewski, devoted to chronology of the Early and Middle Aeneolithic in South-Eastern part of Poland and published in the previous volume of Przeglad Archeologiczny, to a critical examination.
The study abstracts from the traditional formal explanation of material culture as a system method commonly used to analyse historical sources. This commonly applied but depersonalized procedure is replaced by a structure with elements of a human’s role as a subject in history – the creator and his community. The investigation focuses mostly on the period of turbulent socio-cultural changes at the turn of the early and late European prehistory. In the territory of the northern inner Carpathians and in the northern Pontic territory, primarily, the depth and extent of mutual contacts between the communities of the Pit Grave (and pre-Pit Grave) Culture people and the northern Carpathian societies (allochthones and autochthones) is searched. With emphasis on the study of contours of the diffusion, migration, immigration, invasion and acculturation processes, the investigation is aimed to uncover the subject, causes and consequences of trans-territorial population movements.

The paper is focused on the results of analysis of the mono-cultural settlement of the Baden Culture in lower Hron region. Within the village cadastre two Baden Culture settlements are registered. The source base comes from the smaller one. Operationally, it is referred to as Kamenín II. There were 16 settlement features unearthed containing a relatively small amount of pottery. Within the shapes, mainly bowls, cups, jugs, amphorae, pots and fragment of a bipartite bowl. Particular attention should be paid to the bottom of the flat so-called headless idol. Based on very few ceramic materials monitored Aeneolithic settlement is dated back to the II.–II. stage of the Baden Culture.
Remarkable variability, frequently also in the regions of the same culture (or cultural complex), manifested in the building construction and technology, is one of the evidences of relatively intensive mutual cultural influences. Similar situation can be defined for the Lengyel culture spread also within the northern part of the Carpathian Basin. Apart from general cultural spectrum of the Neolithic and Aeneolithic Period at the mentioned territory, this study is focused particularly on the Lengyel culture in which the innovations in house architecture and related new technological solutions and building techniques occurred. These reflected also the influences from immediate neighbourhood of the Carpathian Basin. In the building technology the main innovation is the construction of a ceiling (attic space) to which a series of technological changes is related adapted probably from the Vinca culture. The most similar to the burnt house no. 2 from Chynorany is a burnt house no. 10/80 from Budmerice, epilengyel-Lengyel IV, and burnt compact clay daub block from the same site (structure 2, area I), all in in situ position. On the basis of analyses of finding context and of its confrontation with measurements of clay daub fragments' burning intensity can feature 1 (burnt destruction of ceiling and perimeter walls of the house 2) be interpreted as one-storey house with ceiling with wooden construction and clay daub-plastered upper surface formed from split construction elements (here split planks). No post-holes were detected. Approximate shape or size of foundations can be reconstructed only on the basis of upper burnt clay daub destruction. At Chynorany, min. 5, max. 12 burnt houses were attested by geophysical prospecting of the area 60 x 60 m. Average size of the houses at Chynorany was 16.5 x 6.5 m. Detected burnt houses lied in relatively short mutual distances, seemingly forming irregular parallel streets with 3-5 m spacing between the houses.
