Hi Gerry:  Can you give us more data on the Bronocice find and dating?
I assume we are talking the TRB pot with wagon motiffs?  How does it compare
to the Flintbek cart ruts (below a TRB megal.tomb, I believe?
(I understand a number of context C-14s and other dating techniques have
been applied to the Bronocice find and site?)  I regret that I am dependent
on the web for breaking stuff, and have been for a few years. I am also
trying to follow N. Syrian developments which seem to take the war chariot
out of Sumerian context.
The radiocarbon date for a cattle bone from the same level in the same pit as the vessel is 2775+50 BC (calibrated 3635-3370 BC, med. 3404 BC; Kruk & Milisauskas 1999). This date agrees very well with the expected relative dating based on the absolute chronology of Bronocice III. The Flintbek ruts are slightly older (radiocarbon 2850-2750 BC, calibrated 3630-3500 BC). Both are from typical mid-4th millennium TRB sites anyway.
