KW  - Neolithic longhouse ‒ Stroke-ornamented Pottery culture (SBK) ‒ Kolín site ‒ Culture change
N2  - 
N2  - The Neolithic millennium was a period in the course of which many changes occurred. Its second part
in particular shows a very significant transformation both in the material aspects of the culture and in the society
itself. The aim is to link the development of the Neolithic longhouse of temperate Europe with the overall background
of the changes occurring during the Post-LBK period in Bohemia. The dichotomous nature of the development of
longhouses is demonstrated by the examples of the preserved groundplans of longhouses from the Kolín site
(Bohemia, Czech Republic). On one hand, we can follow the direct continuity of the basic type of dwellings between
the LBK (Linear Pottery culture) and Post-LBK periods, while on the other hand the house itself changes in regard
to several parameters. These include changes in the construction, the groundplan, the internal structure of individual
houses and a transformation of the overall concept of settlements. Together with the other changes that occurred in
the Post-LBK period, a coherent picture is thereby created of a society in which the emergence of a new identity
superior to that of the original segmentary societies took place.
