It puts these data into the wider context of LBK settlement patterns and absolute dating in Central Europe and explores possible land-use scenarios. Finally, it links this research back to the LBK settlement agglomeration of Vráble and analyses the relationship between this central place and lesser sites in its vicinity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ivan Cheben\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9464270845\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789464270846\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sidestone Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/09\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Ivan Cheben","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50665586196735,"sku":"9789464270846","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_34c4be81-8206-46f3-b60c-bee86112fa42.jpg?v=1792012744","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/archaeology-in-the-zitava-valley-ivan-cheben-9789464270846","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
