Abstract

The subject of the study is a collective find of three axes discovered in 1964 during excavation research at the multicultural site VII in Klementowice, Kurów commune, Puławy dis-trict, Lublin voivodship, in the north-western part of the Nałęczów Plateau. Two artefacts (with quadrilateral section and bifacial) are made of banded flint and one (with quadrilateral section) – of Świeciechów flint. These raw materials come from deposits exploited in the Neolithic period in mines of the Świętokrzyski region of the prehistoric flint mining. Despite the existing doubts, these axes should be combined with the Funnel Beaker culture, its southeastern group.
