Abstract

Rich inventories of flint artifacts originate from the graves of the Corded Ware culture in western Lesser Poland. Additionally, materials from settlements have also been found in this area. The significant increase in available data in recent years has provided us with a deeper understanding of the raw material conditions of the flint industry during the Final Eneolithic Period. The grave inventories reveal the special significance of Świeciechów flint in the production of axes, while chocolate flint is primarily used for creating blade and flake tools. The use of K-type flint for axe production is specific to the western Lesser Poland region. The evident selection of raw materials is not merely utilitarian but is also influenced by the ideological system prevalent in Final Eneolithic communities.
