Stichbandkeramik (culture and style)

Refers to the later phase of Bandkeramik culture and style, characterized by pottery decoration that has evolved from earlier delineated bands to instead use rows of incisions, punctures, impressions, and notches arranged to suggest bands, but without the defined delineation. This later phase is also characterized by the culture developing stronger regional differences. This phase is called "Danubian II" in the classification scheme of scholar V. Gordon Childe.
