The Strokeornamentedwareculture or German Stichbandkeramik abbr. STK or STbK , Stroked Pottery culture , Danubian culture Danubian Ib culture of V. Gordon Childe , or Middle Danubian culture is the successor of the Linear Pottery culture , a major archaeological horizon of the European Neolithic in Central Europe . The STK flourishes during approximately 4600 4400 BC. Centered on Silesia in Poland , eastern Germany and the northern Czech Republic , it overlaps with the Lengyel culture Lengyel horizon to the south, and the R ssen culture to the west. Image European Late Neolithic.gif thumb 350px Map of late European Neolithic showing the survival of STK. Description The STbK and the Notenkopfkeramik are a development of the LBK. Much of the Musical Note pottery features incised zig zag bands going around the pot, with punctures at the line segment junctions. The STK abandons incision in favor bands of small punctures, also in zig zag patterns, with a vertical band dividing each angle. The effect is a band pattern of contiguous A frames. Where the Musical Note pottery expanded east over the Bug River , the STK moved down the Vistula and Elbe . The spread of this style must have been basically the transmission of cultural objects. The homes of the STK people show a slight modification that became a major feature of later cultures one end of the long house was made shorter than the other to achieve a trapezoidal shape. The reason for this modification remains obscure. Also, the STK people developed a preference for cremation rather than burial. The preceding early LBK had used both methods. Gosek circle An unusual structure associated with STK has been found at Goseck circle Gosek , south of Berlin a large, double concentric ring of post holes pierced by gates and surrounded by a circular ditch .

Unreferenced date December 2009 In handwriting research, the concept of stroke is used in various ways. In engineering and computer science, there is a tendency to use the term stroke for a single connected component of ink in handwriting recognition Off line recognition Off line handwriting recognition or a complete pen down trace in handwriting recognition On line recognition on line handwriting recognition . Thus, such stroke may be a complete character or a part of a character. However, in this definition, a complete word written as connected cursive script should also be called a stroke. This is in conflict with the suggested unitary nature of stroke as a relatively simple shape. In the research field of handwriting motor control, the term ballistic stroke is used. It is defined as the trajectory segment between two consecutive minima in the absolute velocity of the pen tip. The time delay between the cortical brain command and a muscle contraction is so large that the 100 millisecond ballistic strokes need to be planned in advance by the brain, as feedback by hand eye coordination requires a much slower movement than is the case in the normal handwriting process.
