The Pommerellische face-pot culture, even Pomoranische Culture (Polish kultura pomorska or kultura wschodniopomorska ) and Pomeranian culture called, was an Iron Age culture in today's Poland.

The center of the Pomeranian face-pot culture was between the lower Vistula River and Gdańsk Bay on the east and the Stolpe (Polish Słupia ) in the west. It developed in the 7th century BC from the Kashubian group of the Lusatian culture. Characteristic were urns with face images that were buried in stone cists. Typical grave goods were bronze brooches and rings. The burial customs had a striking resemblance to those of simultaneous house urn culture between resin and Saale estuary.

The economic system was similar to that of the Lusatian culture. Rye was first cultivated systematically, but made only a small part of the crop from. Wall castles on hills were less likely than further west in the Lusatian culture.

In the further course of the Iron Age, the culture expanded further. By mixing with other cultures, the bells graves culture developed.

There is a presumption of carrier face-pot culture were the Bastarni been. However, these were only mentioned by ancient authors such as Tacitus, as they appeared in the lower Danube area and settled there.
