Polish term or phrase: zaciemnienie
Możliwe, że w trakcie planowanego opracowania uda się rozdzielić tendencje w ceramice warzelniczej pomiędzy grupami pleszowsko-modlnicką, a wyciąsko-złotnicką. Z tą ostatnią należy wiązać odkrytą w wykopie 28 siekierkę wykonaną z miedzi (rys. 4, a). Artefakt został odkryty w niewielkim zaciemnieniu znajdującym się na granicy obiektów 85, 73 i 74.

Explanation:
Shadows (surface shadows, shadow marks, shadow sites) are caused by irregularities in elevation, indicating the presence of submerged features such as earthworks and ditches - these may be revealed through aerial photography.

Soil marks are differences in soil colour as a result of archaeological features.
