Abstract This paper explores to what extent orientations of houses can contribute to chronological questions and to the cultural and social contextualisation in the Neolithic of Europe in general and societies with pottery styles labeled as Vinca and LBK in particular. First of all, the question is investigated to what extent systematic errors in the orientation of houses can contribute to the clarification of intra-site chronologies in tells and flat settlements of Southeastern Europe, as just recently proved for Linear Pottery Culture settlements. These systematic, counterclockwise deviations represent a cognitive phenomenon known as ‘Pseudoneglect’, which can be used to reconstruct e.g. relative-chronological sequences of houses in archaeo-magnetic plans. Beyond such fine-scaled variability, at a regional level, basic orientations of houses prove to be surprisingly durable and stable indicating their normative character and high ideological significance. Within Southeast Europe, regional standardisations can be distinguished for example with the ‘basic Balkan orientation’ and the ‘Upper Tisza orientation’. With regard to the relations between the Vinca and ‘the LBK′ we would like to highlight two points: Remarkable is, on the one hand, the high diversity of house orientations in the presumed area of formation of ‘the LBK’. Accordingly, human groups of different origins might have been involved in this formation process. On the other hand, it seems that not only human groups from the Balkan but also those from the upper Tisza region played a significant role in the formation and spread of the LBK.

中欧和东南欧新石器时代住宅的定位：vinča 和 linearbandkeramik 世界之间的共同点

摘要 本文探讨了房屋的方向在多大程度上可以对年代问题以及欧洲新石器时代的文化和社会背景以及特别是长春花和 LBK 陶器风格的社会做出贡献。首先，调查房屋方向的系统误差在多大程度上有助于澄清东南欧的告诉和平坦定居点的现场年表，正如最近在线性陶器文化定居点中所证明的那样。这些系统的、逆时针偏差代表了一种被称为“伪忽略”的认知现象，它可用于重建例如考古磁图中房屋的相对时间顺序。除了这种精细尺度的可变性之外，在区域层面上，房屋的基本朝向被证明具有惊人的耐用性和稳定性，表明它们具有规范性和高度的意识形态意义。在东南欧，区域标准化可以区分为例如“基本巴尔干方向”和“上蒂萨方向”。关于长春花和“LBK”之间的关系，我们想强调两点：一方面，值得注意的是，在假定的“LBK”形成区域内，房屋方向的高度多样性。因此，不同起源的人类群体可能参与了这一形成过程。另一方面，似乎不仅来自巴尔干的人类群体，而且来自上蒂萨地区的人类群体在 LBK 的形成和传播中也发挥了重要作用。
