EN The article discusses the settlement of the Corded Ware culture (CWC) and of the proto- and early Mierzanowice culture (MC) phasesin the Carpathians in the 3rd millennium BC. This period should be synchronized with the turn of the Meso- and Neoholocene(2900 BC) characterized by a distinct cooling and rise in humidity, which was later followed by a gradual decline in humidity andtemperature, lasting until 1750 BC. The CWC settlement (both burial and settlement/encampment sites) on the northern side ofthe mountains reaches from the Wieliczka Foothills in the west to the Dynów Foothills in the east. South of the Carpathians, CWC sites occur individually on the Ondavská Upland and in the area between the Ondava and Topla rivers. Graves are also known from the lower parts of the Čergov Mts. and in the low parts of the Vihorlat-Gutin Range. The presence of the population belonging to the proto- and early Mierzanowice culture in the Carpathians constitutes the direct continuation of CWC settlement. Finds of thisculture are very few and limited to graves dug into older mounds in the Wieliczka and Dynów Foothills. No settlements dating tothis period have been discovered so far; the closest are the ones on the northern foreland of the Carpathians, on the right side ofthe Vistula. The early phases of the Mierzanowice culture also show continuity of cultural traditions, manifested primarily in theburial rituals adopted. In this respect, burial mounds had a significant role as the last resting places of ancestors.
