Rondels are the oldest monumental ceremonial objects in Europe. They appeared some 200 years after the demise of the Linear Pottery culture (c. 4800 BCE). They have given a new shape to the resurgent 'Danubian Neolithic World'. However, despite intensive research, it is still unclear (1) how the transition process took place after the fall of the LBK; (2) how long rondels were function; and (3) under what circumstances they were abandoned. In this paper, we present a new approach to this problem based on an analysis of the biography of a single object based on the integration of archaeological and palaeoenvironmental data. We assume that the high-resolution pollen analysis of lake sediments provides critical data on the dynamics of population change (hiatuses, sharp declines and increases in population size) and how the environment is affected (felling of specific tree species, fires, cultivation of particular crops, grazing intensity). They provide a better understanding of the sequence of settlement and construction changes as well as alterations in material culture available in the archaeological record. The subject of the analysis is a site in the Lower Oder Valley (north-west Poland), at the furthest northern periphery of the 'Danubian World'.

圆环是欧洲最古老的纪念性仪式物品。它们出现于线性陶器文化消亡约 200 年后（约 公元前 4800 年）。他们为复兴的“多瑙河新石器时代世界”赋予了新的面貌。然而，尽管进行了深入的研究，但仍不清楚（1）LBK垮台后的过渡过程是如何发生的；(2) rondels 发挥功能的时间有多长；(3) 在什么情况下被遗弃。在本文中，我们基于考古和古环境数据的整合对单个物体的传记进行分析，提出了解决该问题的新方法。我们假设，对湖泊沉积物的高分辨率花粉分析提供了关于种群变化动态（种群规模的中断、急剧下降和增加）以及环境如何受到影响（砍伐特定树种、火灾、种植特定树种）的关键数据。作物、放牧强度）。它们使人们更好地了解定居点和建筑变化的顺序以及考古记录中物质文化的变化。分析的主题是位于“多瑙河世界”最北端的下奥得河谷（波兰西北部）的一个地点。
