Abstract | The changes in Central Europe at the end of the Linear Pottery Culture (LBK) are one of the most
discussed issues in recent Neolithic archaeology. The initial uniformity, which was reflected in some aspects of
material culture, seems to have fallen apart into smaller regional cultures. This paper aims to present recently
analysed Stroked Pottery Culture (SBK) material from the Hrdlovka and Hrobčice sites (Teplice district), in the
Czech Republic. Ceramics, lithics and animal bones have been analysed at the chronological levels of Early and
Late SBK. For comparison, other Northwest Bohemian contemporary sites with a sufficient amount of finds and
state of processing have been chosen: Hrbovice and Vchynice, and partly also Mšeno. Within this framework,
uniformity in ceramic decoration is reported in Early SBK, while greater variability is observed in Late SBK. The
evidence for inter-regional contact is also documented. The ceramic assemblage from the Hrobčice site shows
a relationship to some Polish regions, represented by Samborzec-Opatów or, more likely, Malice group vessel. | | Keywords | Neolithic – Stroked Pottery Culture – Hrdlovka – Hrobčice – Northwest Bohemia – Ceramics – Animal
