Abstract

The present paper summarizes the state of research of the flint technology belonging to the Early Bronze Age in the Lesser Poland loessic areas. With the analyses of representative materials from the most important settlements, cemeteries and mines, an attempt has been made to verify the current identification criteria for the flint artefacts of the concerned period. The observations allow for the construction of a theoretical model which connects to the manufacturing of bifacial daggers and sickles as well as with the spezialization of their production. The fact that these tools were made continuously for several centuries, may be attributed to some special social mechanisms in which technology teachers played an important role. This model was based on selected conceptions of social psychology
