Abstract
The ceramic assemblage recovered from the site of Ludwinowo has been extensively described by Pyzel (chapter 2.3, in this volume). More than 32,000 fragments of pottery were excavated and attributed to the LBK phases of the site, spanning more than 250 years of occupation, extending from phase I of the Kuyavian LBK (ca. 5300 calBC) to phase III (5050–5000 calBC; Pyzel, chapter 2.4 in this volume). The pottery assemblage was dominated by globular vessels (or kümpfe), followed by collared flasks and bowls (in different proportion in the different LBK phases). Potsherds perforated with millimetre-sized holes were also excavated at the site. This type of sherds has been found amongst ceramic assemblages from LBK sites across Central Europe and triggered formulation of the ‘cheese-strainers’ hypothesis by Bogucki (1984). Drawing an analogy to modern and ethnographic cheese strainers and consideration of the structure of cattle herds at the sites, Bogucki (1984) hypothesise
