Category of pottery distinguished by archaeologists which have systematic values, became the starting point for considering the possibility of archometrical studies in explaining the provenience of pottery manufacturing. Painted, inlaid and „graphitic" pottery as determinants of the early Iron Age and vessels from earlier periods (4-5th period of the Bronze Age) were analyzed. Their petrographic, planimetric and granulometric characteristics along with a specific chemical composition were compared with each other also in the correlation to the chemistry characteristics of the ceramic raw materials coming from areas adjacent to the places from which the analyzed ceramics came from. The aim of the article was to answer the question whether in the pottery production of the end of the Bronze Age and the early Iron Age in the south-western Poland can be notice changes in technology (manifested in used of raw materials, ceramic mass, decorating) or the continuation of the pottery tradition? Can any changes be related to the hallstattization? Guided by the criterion of the traditional approach to determining the provenience, locating the place of production in the area of the presence of stylistically uniform pottery and the distribution of artifacts related to this production, it is necessary to locate pottery manufacturing of analyzed ceramics in south-western Poland. Confirmation also comes from archaeoceramological investigations. The conducted study has proved that a new type of ceramic raw material, which was intended for a separate group of painted pottery and other raw materials used for forming other pottery categories, have a local provenance. From them, vessels were made derives from various regions of south-western Poland within the distinguished archaeological pottery groups. Hallstattization understood as a transfer of ideas, inspiration existing in the so-called circle of Hallstatt cultures can be most visible in analogous forms of vessels and their ornamentation.
