Abstract

The article examines the functional aspects of flint knapping in the Lublin-Volhynian culture. Tools found in a male grave in Gródek are analyzed. The investigations focus on nine artifacts, including two retouched blade daggers. The results show that the artifacts were used for various purposes and could have a long history of use. The use of flint artifacts was limited to a small elite group of adult men who held a high social status. [Extracted from the article]
