Abstract:

In the northern part of an upland settlement of the Funnel Beaker Culture at Ćmielów in Southern Poland close aggregates of numerous (507—26,132) flint artefacts were found in 16 pits. These aggregates are considered to be workshop assemblages, generated by the refuse thrown out from the neighbouring workshops. In these workshops the flint, extracted in neighbouring mines, was processed. Striped flint from Krzemionki mine was used mostly to make pre-forms of axes, and Świeciechów flint was used to make blade pre-forms
