This publication summarizes the methodological and documentary basis used for processing and evaluating the materials from the Neolithic site of Bylany. It comprises large sets of data and information about the archaeological sources and their formal, symbolic and spatial attributes. Owing to the immense quantity of data collected over the forty years of archaeological research in Bylany, it proved necessary to create a central system allowing for effective use of the recorded data. This metadata manual, together with a compact set consisting of a database, graphic documentation and GIS map published on the enclosed digital data medium, should fulfill this purpose.
