Excerpt: The Linear Pottery culture is a major archaeological horizon of the European Neolithic, flourishing ca. 55004500 BC. The heaviest concentrations are on the middle Danube, the upper and middle Elbe, and the upper and middle Rhine. The culture represents a major impulse if not the advent of agriculture into this part of the world. The pottery after which it was named consists of simple cups, bowls, vases and jugs, without handles, but in a later phase with lugs or pierced lugs, bases and necks. They were obviously designed as kitchen dishes, or for the immediate or local transport of food and liquids. Important sites include Nitra in Slovakia; Bylany in the Czech Republic; Langweiler and Zwenkau in Germany; Brunn am Gebirge in Austria; Elsloo, Sittard, Köln-Lindenthal, Aldenhoven, Flomborn and Rixheim on the Rhine; Lautereck and Hienheim on the upper Danube; Rössen and Sonderhausen on the middle Elbe. Two variants of the early Linear Pottery Culture are recognized: Middle and late phases are also defined.

This book examines the interaction betweennationalism and feminism in modern Polish women¿sphysical culture from the late nineteenth centuryuntil the end of the twentieth century. Unlike mostwestern countries where sportswomen were typicallymarginalized in their athletic endeavors, Polishfemale athletes earned greater respect andrecognition in their physical culture. On manyoccasions, and for varied reasons, women¿sathleticism in Poland was a source of immense prideand prestige for both the state and society. Thisform of acceptance, however, does not suggest thatsportswomen faced no discrimination in their effortsto become sportive. Women¿s physicality remained thesubject of intense debate, particularly when thesocio-economic conditions worsened and threatened thesurvival of families.

Accordingly, this book enriches thehistories of Poland and modern Europe, as well aswomen¿s and sports studies. ... Read more
