Abstract:

In addition to a summing up of the present state of researches on the economy of the Lusatian Culture population in the North and West zone of the Odra and Vistula basins this article also deals with attempts - based in principle on available palaeobotanic and archaeozoological materials - at a new look at principal development tendencies prevailing in the final phases of the Hallstatt period. An analysis of collected materials and studies on settlement and demographic processes enabled the author to put forward a thesis on the complexity of the economic system of Lusatian Culture tribes. Stationary and movable forms of exploiting the natural environment (agriculture, animal breeding, gathering, hunting and fishing) resulted in an ecological emaciation of respective settlement microregions. This led to the downfall of fortified settlements, the depopulation of some, particularly exploited regions and, at the same time, initiated the gradual decline of Lusatian Culture
