Abstract

Deposits of flint blades have been found in southern Poland for many years. These finds, although rare, due to their nature have aroused the curiosity of many researchers. One such assemblage, consisting of seven macrolithic chocolate flint blades, was discovered in 1958 in the village of Wąworków, Opatów District. In order to understand the reasons for depositing these lithics in the ground and to uncover all the secrets they conceal, the artefacts were subjected to multidimensional research. In the first phase of the studies aimed at analysing and recording the assemblage, a detailed description of the specimens was made, and raw material, technological, and functional analyses were carried out. Then, on the basis of the collected data, an attempt was made to establish
their age, cultural provenance, and final interpretation.
