Summary/Abstract: The article presents natural environmental features of part of the Tążyna River basin – mostly geology, geomorphology and topography, but also surface waters and soil cover. The relationship between these components of the environment and the intensity of settlement of the area during the Funnel Beaker culture community was analysed. It is concluded that a good recognition of environmental conditions determined the choice mainly of habitats in sandy areas with a slightly diversified relief, where podzols and black soils had developed in the valleys, and a few hundred metres from streams.
