Summary/Abstract: Using several examples, the authors elucidate the principle of so-called “starting points” as the basic means for grasping the issue of early transportation routes. The dating of their relicts in the form of abandoned hollowed-out farm tracks is one of the serious archaeological problems. The results amend the existing ideas of the course and development of long-distance transportation routes in selected regions.
