Authors present an analysis of two Final Mesolithic flint assemblages from sites Wieliszew III and VIb in Central Poland. The sites comprised two artifact concentrations buried in trenches XVI and XVIIc. A number of quantitative and qualitative attributes characterize the two assemblages, namely: the dominance of scrapers over endscrapers, the occurrence of bipolar technique of flaking, the microlithic character of tools and the governance of trapezoidal pieces among the insets. These are the traits that have suggested a new discrete stylistic entity, which, subsequently, has been termed the Kokry industry. One hundred thirty and six flint artifacts from trench XVIIc show use-wear traces indicating heavy use. Hide processing wear has been the most frequent. In addition, the tools were involved in wood and bone processing, whereas the microliths were used as insets being elements of armament.
The article presents a spatial and functional analysis of a flint concentration of the Janisławice Culture from the site of Rydno. Traseological studies of a few dozen flint artifacts have demonstrated 16 cases of evidence of use-wear (scrapers, end-scrapers, groovers, borers, notched tools, retouched blades, retouched chips and blades). These tools were used predominantly to process wood and plants.
The article studies Mesolithic campsites of Janisławice culture at the Rydno IV/47 site in terms of their spatial organization and functional attributes. Traseological analyses of flint artifacts (scrapers, endscrapers, burins, points, truncated blades, retouched blades and flakes, crested blades and ordinary blades) from three concentrations revealed use-wear traces in the case of 32 specimens. These traces could be attributed to activities such as processing animal carcasses and processing of plants and wood.
