Abstract

Flint arrowheads are one of the most common artefact types found in funerary materials attributed to the Corded Ware culture. One of the most numerous assemblages was discovered in Mydłów (on the Sandomierz Upland) in 1990. It was composed of 27 arrowheads deposited in Feature 2. In order to better understand the character of this collection, it was re-examined with the use of new findings concerning the most recent research into Corded Ware flint-knapping across Lesser Poland. To obtain new information, the investigation was considerably enriched with microscopic analyses of the surfaces of the artefacts – conducted to identify potential use-wear patterns on them.
