The site is a part of the Łęczna-Włodawa Lakeland, the flattest part of the Western Polesie region. It is a part of the Hańsk Municipality in the Włodawa District. Agriculture and other human activities, e.g. sand extraction, caused a significant damages to the cultural layers of the site, located on a sandy, unstable ground. The site was discovered in 1985 during surface surveys conducted as part of the Archaeological Record of Poland project (Archeologiczne Zdjęcie Polski, hereinafter AZP). Within the site, rescue excavations were carried out in the years 1986-1987. They were concentrated mainly in the zone where the Bronze Age burial mound was constructed. Field works revealed the presence of several settlement phases. The beginnings of the settlement is marked by materials from the Mesolithic period. In the Neolithic, a Funnel Beaker culture settlement was located in this place. The end of the Stone Age is marked only by a not numerous traces of the Corded Ware culture. The settlement phase dated back to the Bronze Age, when these areas were occupied by the communities of the Trzciniec culture is best visible. Materials originating from the excavations in Dubeczno, in the number of about six thousand pieces, went to the collection of the Department of Archaeology at the W. Ambroziewicz Museum of the Chełm Land in Chełm (inventory number MCH/A/5885). These are mainly fragments of vessels, but also a large number of stone artefacts and organic remains (human and animal bones). The main purpose of this work is to introduce all the sources obtained during the field works into the scientific circulation, in the wake of previous comprehensive analysis and cultural-chronological interpretation. Another important reason for this monograph is the popularization of the archaeological heritage in the local community environment. The following chapters present the range of field research and detailed geo-environmental analysis of the site and its immediate surroundings. The source-part contains both: the results of standard research procedure regarding ceramic and stone artefacts, their laboratory analyses, as well as conclusions of the anthropological analysis of human remains and a summary of the other organic artefacts analyses. The final part contains a chapter devoted to the analysis of artefacts obtained during the AZP surveys, reconstruction of the prehistoric settlement processes in the Dubeczno region and compilation of final conclusions. Publication was co-financed by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage from the Culture Promotion Fund (task number 3354/18/FPK/NID). The Institute of Archaeology of the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin also participated in the publishing costs.

For over half a century a discussion has been going on over the taxonomic identification (chronological and spatial) and genetic and ethnic interpretation of this cultural unit. In the debate, the 1980's and 1990's mark a significant cognitive turn caused by the growth of the corpus of sources, the use of systematic methods for the study of mobile sources and the proliferation of regional 14C datings. The present volume of "Baltic-Pontic Studies" is an attempt to register this breakthrough and a proposal for a new fitting of the Trzciniec phenomenon into the synthesis of Early Bronze Age Europe. The records include rudiments of new regional systematizations, foundations of their chronologies based on radiocarbon datings and a discussion of the mechanisms of socio-cultural changes which gave rise to the Trzciniec cultural area and later contributed to its disintegration. A long-term intention of this volume giving a multifaceted view of the effects of the said cognitive breakthrough is to encourage a careful scrutiny of the development mechanisms of the European Early Bronze Age Civilization, in particular the role played in them by the societies inhabiting the drainages of the Baltic and Pontic Seas
