 abstract={The presented article aims to interpret the function of selected flint sickles from the Early Bronze Age. For this purpose, we made a use-wear analysis of 13 sickles coming from the cemeteries of the Strzyżów culture in south-east Poland: Rogalin, site 15, Hrubieszów-Podgórze, site 1, Hrebenne, sites 10 and 31, and Świerszczów, site 5 (Hrubieszów district, Lublin province). All analyzed sickles were made of Volhynian flint and represent the sub-triangular type. As a result, we can conclude that analyzed tools were used mostly for harvesting cereals or other siliceous plants. They were placed in hafts made of hard organic materials, combined with hide/plant. Conducted studies also revealed that these objects, suitably altered (sickle tips were destroyed right before being deposited in a grave) became important grave goods.},
