Location of sites mentioned in the text.

Fig. 2

Nagykörű. 1: radiocarbon dating; 2: “phase” modelling of dates obtained on “short-lived” wood (all calibrations and modelling were performed by OxCal 4.2.4 – Bronk Ramsey, 2009; Reimer at al., 2013); 3: twig of Quercus sp. (left and right: transversal section). Micrographs by M. Moskal-del Hoyo.

Fig. 3

Moravany. 1: radiocarbon dating of all taxonomically undetermined charcoals of Holocene age; 2: radiocarbon dating (“phase” modelling) of all charcoals determined as Quercus sp., found in anthropogenic features of the Neolithic age; 3: Quercus sp. (left: transversal section and right: tangential section). Micrographs by M. Moskal-del Hoyo.

Fig. 4

Moravany. 1–3: Picea sp. vel Larix sp. (1. transversal section, 2. tangential section, 3. radial section); 4: Fagus sylvatica (transversal section); 5–6: Carpinus betulus (5. transversal section, 6. radial section), and radiocarbon dating of these charcoals. Micrographs by M. Moskal-del Hoyo.

Fig. 5

Polgár-Csőszhalom and Polgár-Bosnyákdomb. 1: Carpinus sp. from Polgár-Csőszhalom (left: transversal section and right: two micrographs of radial section); 2: Cornus sp. from Polgár-Bosnyákdomb (left: transversal section and right: radial section). Micrographs by M. Moskal-del Hoyo; 3: radiocarbon dating from the ditch of Polgár-Bosnyákdomb in relation to the depth; 4: awn of Stipa sp. from the ditch at Polgár-Bosnyákdomb. Photo by M. Lityńska-Zając.

Ludwinowo. 1: radiocarbon dating; 2: wheat chaff fragments from Ludwinowo; 3. Chenopodium sp. from Ludwinowo. Photos by A. Mueller-Bieniek and M. Szewczyk.

Fig. 7

Mozgawa. 1: radiocarbon dating (“phase” modelling); 2: branch of Pinus sylvestris (left: transversal section and right: radial section). Micrographs by M. Moskal-del Hoyo.
