The Strokeornamentedwareculture or German Stichbandkeramik abbr. STK or STbK , Stroked Pottery culture , Danubian culture Danubian Ib culture of V. Gordon Childe , or Middle Danubian culture is the successor of the Linear Pottery culture , a major archaeological horizon of the European Neolithic in Central Europe . The STK flourishes during approximately 4600 4400 BC. Centered on Silesia in Poland , eastern Germany and the northern Czech Republic , it overlaps with the Lengyel culture Lengyel horizon to the south, and the R ssen culture to the west. Image European Late Neolithic.gif thumb 350px Map of late European Neolithic showing the survival of STK. Description The STbK and the Notenkopfkeramik are a development of the LBK. Much of the Musical Note pottery features incised zig zag bands going around the pot, with punctures at the line segment junctions. The STK abandons incision in favor bands of small punctures, also in zig zag patterns, with a vertical band dividing each angle. The effect is a band pattern of contiguous A frames. Where the Musical Note pottery expanded east over the Bug River , the STK moved down the Vistula and Elbe . The spread of this style must have been basically the transmission of cultural objects. The homes of the STK people show a slight modification that became a major feature of later cultures one end of the long house was made shorter than the other to achieve a trapezoidal shape. The reason for this modification remains obscure. Also, the STK people developed a preference for cremation rather than burial. The preceding early LBK had used both methods. Gosek circle An unusual structure associated with STK has been found at Goseck circle Gosek , south of Berlin a large, double concentric ring of post holes pierced by gates and surrounded by a circular ditch .

Multiple issues unreferenced July 2008 expert subject February 2010 disputed February 2010 Most Neolithic cultures in Great Britain Britain are best identified by the pottery remains which they left. A large number of apparently unrelated cultures seem to have produced urns which have characteristic grooves near the top rim, hence the name grooved ware people . One way in which the tradition may have spread is through trade routes up the west coast of Britain, but what seems unusual is that although they shared the same style of pottery, different regions still maintained vastly different traditions. Evidence at some early Henge s Mayburgh Henge , Ring of Brodgar , Arbor Low suggests that there were staging and trading points on a national motorway during the Neolithic and Bronze Age . This evidence perhaps explains how Cumbria n stone axe s found their way to Orkney Islands Orkney . In Orkney Islands Orkney , a variation on grooved ware , Unstan ware , emerged. The people who used Unstan Ware had totally different burial practices. but still managed to co exist with their Grooved Ware counterparts. Some hybrid chambered cairn s have emerged in this region, containing architectural features of both the Maeshowe subclass and the Orkney Cromarty stalled subclasses of cairn.
