Summary/Abstract: This paper is addressed to the questions of Carpatho-Balkan Eneolithic technosphere. It is commonly accepted that Eneolithic high civilizations developing in the second half of the 5th millenia before Christ in the Balkan Peninsula played a role of leading inventive environment of the time. On the basis of previous research it has been also suggested that these Chalcolithic patterns reached the Lublin-Volhynian Culture developing during the Middle Eneolithic in the northernmost periphery of this world. Analyses of two unique pots connected with fibre processing confirm both the opinions.
