The aim of the project was to reconstruct the technological process of manufacturing ceramic vessels in early neolith. The main researching problems were: identifying the source of raw material and preparing ceramic masses (determining mineralogical components), describing the methods of making pots, temperature and burnt technique. The source of raw material for making ceramics in Brzezie site was Miocene clay which occures in surroundings of archeological site. It was established that varied admixtures were used during vessels production. In case of LBK vessels, admixtures were added mainly in the production of thickwalled vessels. Bigger amounts of sand, admixture of argillic rocks debris, chamotte debris and organic material were identified in masses of these vessels. Masses of thin-walled vessels are characterized by fine-grained material and lack of the admixture. In masses of Malice culture vessels, frequent occurience of chamotte was recognized. Moreover, well carred debris of clay and occasionally organic material were met. SEM examination revealed that organic material in LBK masses are mainly fragmented and burnt bones. Technological analyses showed that examined vessels differed between themselves in physical properties. Majority of LBK as well as Malice culture vessels were burnt in reductive conditions. Only groups of storage vessels and single fragments of thin-walled LBK vessels were burnt in oxidizing atmosphere.
