Abstract

The subject of this article is a hoard of Volhynian flint blades discovered in Świątniki. The collection encompasses 12 macrolithic Volhynian flint blades. The blades cannot be refitted together. The morphological and technological features of the blades suggest that they were produced with the use of indirect percussion or the lever pressure technique. The traceological analysis did not reveal any utilization patterns. Only slight polishing traces were recorded, perhaps resulting from keeping/transporting the blades in a wrapping made of light material. The makers of the blades should be associated with the populations of the Trypilian, Lublin-Volhynian, or Funnel Beaker Culture, which does not indicate unequivocally the cultural attribution of the hoard.
