The article presents the analysis of artifacts made of flint and non siliceous rocks. Altogether, during the survey, 41 pieces were obtained – 27 flint products and 14 stone ones. Artifacts made of silica rocks seem to have “a long” chronology – from the late Neolithic period through the Bronze Age to early Iron Age, and single may reach even significantly older periods (perhaps Mesolithic or early and middle Neolithic period). In the group of products made of non siliceous rocks, the only form possible to be linked to settlement of the Lusatian Culture seems to be fragmentarily maintained regular fragment of a battleaxe.
In different cultures the world is described by a variety of signs and symbols. Equally important as reading their meaning is an attempt to describe the relationships between them. Often seemingly unrelated elements of culture are linked by relations on a symbolic level. Research on the relationship between hoards (late Bronze Age and early Iron Age) and local settlement networks indicate such a symbolic connection between border and metal. Understanding these relationships is possible mainly thanks to empirical research yet it would not be possible without analysing the perception of borders and metal, as well as phenomena such as territoriality and the valorization of ‘foreign’ objects, places and people.
