Anotace: In recent years, numerous sites of the Eneolithic Funnel Beaker culture (FBC) have been identified in

the Rzeszów Foothills (south-eastern Poland). Among them, a large settlement in Skołoszów 16 seems
to be particularly significant due to its internal characteristics. In order to determine its extent, spatial
arrangement and chronology, an interdisciplinary investigation (including excavations and a noninvasive geophysical survey) was carried out in 2017–2018. As a consequence of two seasons of field
work campaigns, we have recognized numerous morphologically diverse features (mainly pits) and the
settlement (cultural) layer. Excavations documented the intense usage of the settlement’s space which
encouraged carrying out a geophysical survey over the wider area of the site. The magnetic anomaly
distribution reflects many presumable anthropogenic features. Several particular concentrations of
features visible on the magnetometry image seem to be related with the FBC, thus delimiting the spatial
extent of the site. Based on the geophysical picture, it was possible to estimate that the site measured
at least 65×40 m, while the excavations conducted revealed that the settlement was comprised of
numerous pits and one settlement layer.
