Summary/Abstract: Our study encompassed the area of Lesser Poland and is aimed to trace the evolution of the Linear Band Pottery culture (LBK) and of the Malice culture (MC). The study is focused on mineralogical and petrographic composition of clay as well as the component quantity ratios. Pottery analysed in this article was excaveted from Targowisko, located in the western part of the discussed territory and Rozbórz, located in the eastern part of it. Samples were assigned to groups using the hierarchical cluster analysis. The results of technological analyzes reinforce the hypothesis about the genesis of MC in the eastern part of Lesser Poland. It is certified by technological similarity of LBK and MC pottery in Rozbórz. Then MC spread to other regions of Lesser Poland, as evidenced by the lack of technological links between LBK and MC in other regions.
