Vol. 60 (2022): THE LORDS OF FLINT – 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE DISCOVERY OF THE PREHISTORIC STRIPED FLINT MINES IN KRZEMIONKI

The earliest research on the siliceous raw materials in the territory of Poland dates back to the first years after World War I. A patriarch of these studies was an archaeologist Stefan Krukowski (1890–1982). Together with Jan Samsonowicz (1888–1959), then a young geologist, they undertook a grand survey focused on flint deposits and prehistoric exploitation sites. The year 2022 brings a centennial celebration of their most prominent discovery: Krzemionki.
