"It seems, however, that it was local, because there are no discoveries of vessels with the characteristic technology known from this region north of the nearby Vistula."

How local is local is not clarified - a site that size would imply to me a fair distribution area and hence a distribution network.  It will also be interesting if they can sample a few kilns and get dates, to see how much was operating at the same time.
