The subject of the study is a collective find of three axes discovered in 1964 during excavation research at the multicultural site VII in Klementowice, Kurów commune, Puławy dis-trict, Lublin voivodeship, in the north-western part of the Nałęczów Plateau. Two artefacts (with quadrilateral section and bifacial) are made of banded flint and one (with quadrilateral section) – of Świeciechów flint. These raw materials come from deposits exploited in the Neolithic period in mines of the Świętokrzyski region of the prehistoric flint mining. Despite the existing doubts, these axes should be combined with the Funnel Beaker culture, its southeastern group.
Archaeologist and expert of Neolithic flintknapping, Professor Bogdan Balcer, passed away on 30 December 2018. He was professionally linked to two Warsaw institutions: the State Archaeological Museum (1957–1972) and the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology of the Polish Academy of Sciences (1972–2006). He was the author of more than a hundred papers, devoted mainly to issues of exploitation, processing and distribution of flint raw material, espe¬cially Świeciechów and striped flint, in the basins of the Oder and Vistula rivers.
