Anotations

Scope note:

Refers to the earlier phase of Bandkeramik culture and style, characterized by pottery decorated with scratches, grooves, and relief patterns arranged in bands of meanders, curves, spirals, and wave-shapes. The term is sometimes used interchangeably with "Bandkeramik." This phase is called "Danubian I" in the classification scheme of scholar V. Gordon Childe.
