Probably, everybody knows about the Corded Ware culture - proto-Indo-European, originating from the Kurgan cultures in the East European steppes, and sweeping across most of Central Europe during the early Bronze Age. Since they are supposed to be quite different from everything that characterised "Old central Europe", that should also apply to the pottery which gave the culture its name.
So, here is a test: Below you find photos of various Central European pottery styles. Surely you won't have a problem to pick out Corded Ware, wouldn't you?
Style A:
Style B:
Style C:

Style D:
Style E:
Style F:
The other styles shown here are (of course not displayed in this sequence):
I will give the solution once fifteen people have voted on this poll.
Edit: Just a hint to myself, should I forget the correct sequence: DE1091

- Tiefstich pottery (middle Funnelbeaker, Altmark variant of Baalberge Culture, 3,600-3,100 BC)
- Salzmünde pottery, 3,300-3,100 BC
- Bernburg pottery (post-Funnelbeaker, 3,100-2,600 BC)
- Globular amphora culture, 3,100-2,800 BC (this is a bit unfair, as it is considered the Corded Ware predecessor)
- Early Medieval "Slavic pottery", West Pomerania (800-1,100 AD)
