Wagon models (fig. 22) are quite often found in settlement context among settlement refuse. For example in Pezinok fragments of anthropomorphic figurine and wagon model were found in settlement pit among daub fragments. During agricultural works was found a fragment of another wagon model only several meters away from the previous one.

It appears only in Central Europe and southern Scandinavia and forms an opposition to the Neolithic and Iron Age pottery. A unique position within this ceramic complex belongs to amphorae, mugs, and jars (sometimes richly decorated), which might be interpreted as drinking sets. These vessels were used for drinking beer during ceremonies
