Opis:
The flint material found in 2001 on the dune surface at Huta Radoryska in South-Podlasian Lowland near Żelechów is associated with human activity. The dune is located at Mała Bystrzyca depression. This depression, filled with the Wartanian silts, Eemian, Vistulian sands and Holocene peats, was formed after dead ice had thawed during deglaciation of the Wartanian ice sheet. The dune is built from eolian sands, mainly accumulated in the Late Vistulian (the Younger Dryas). The palaeosol (podsolic), formed in the Atlantic Period, occurs in the upper part of the dune. There were flints (344) pieces within humus horizon A1 of this palaeosol and above it. Flint cores and tools were recognised among flints. Most of the artefacts were connected with the Mesolithic (the Komornica and Chojnice-Pieńki Culture). Few Late Palaeolithic and Bronze Age flint artefacts were also found. Human activity have lasted for over 10 thousand years on this dune.

Opis:
During the many years of archaeological research in the settlement micro-region in Ulów in Middle Roztocze, traces of human presence dated to Old and Middle Stone Ages (Palaeolithic and Mesolithic) were discovered. Most sources are flint materials, most of which lost their stratigraphic context due to subsequent settlement. At the current stage of research, their classification is possible only on the basis of a typological and comparative analysis. Most likely, the oldest traces of human occupancy in the vicinity of Ulów can be synchronized with a series of radiocarbon dating obtained for samples of charcoal from five different archaeological sites. The to-date discoveries have revealed new sources for research on the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic periods in south-eastern Poland.

Opis:
The frequentation of the uplands and the origin of seasonal pastoralism in the Central Alps in prehistory are intensively discussed topics. This case study from the Karwendel Mountains, a mountain range situated between Tyrol (Austria) and Bavaria (Germany), illustrates on the basis of archaeological surveys and excavations as well as pollen analyses how groups of hunter-gatherers frequented and used a mountainous area since the Mesolithic. This traditional use continued well into the period that is in the more fertile lowlands characterized as Neolithic. The study also shows that the human impact on the natural vegetation in the heart of the mountain range was very modest until the Roman era, while other upland meadows of the Central Alps were used for livestock grazing since the Bronze Age. These pastoral practices deeply changed the landscape and the vegetation of the areas involved. The Karwendel, on the other hand, was at least sporadically visited but remained largely unaffected by human exploitation until modern times, as it is situated at the margin of the important communication routes and the main settlement areas.

Stanowisko o powierzchni 81 m2 zostało przebadane w 2006 roku. Kolekcja archeologiczna liczyła 286 artefaktów krzemiennych. Rdzenie odłupkowe i wiórowe reprezentowane były przez formy jednopiętowe (2 fragmenty), dwupiętowe (3 fragmenty) a także takie o zmienionej orientacji. Zestaw narzędziowy zawierał różnorodne formy narzędzi m.in. rylce (12), drapacze (3), zgrzebło (1), półtylczaki (3), ciosła (3). Ostrze z retuszowaną podstawą jest jedynym zbrojnikiem w zestawieniu. Na podstawie zastosowanej charakterystycznej technologii oraz morfologii form narzędzi możliwe jest przyporządkowanie zbioru artefaktów ze stanowiska Kuĺ 1 do kultury Kudlajevka.
Kuĺ 1 settlement is located 5.1 km to the west of Sviatica village, Liachavičy District, Brest Region (southwestern Belorussia). An area of 81 m2 was excavated at the site in 2006. The obtained archaeological assemblage consists of 286 flint artifacts. Cores for blades and flakes are represented by single- (2 pieces), double- (3) and multiplatform (3) ones as well as four fragments. Tool-set contains various types of burins (12), end-scrapers (3), a scraper (1), truncated blades (3), adzes (3). A bladelet with truncated base is the only microlith in the assemblage. It is possible to attribute the assemblage to Kudlaevka culture based on peculiarities of flintworking technology and morphology of tools.

During rescue excavations at the site Mucharz 12 carried out due to building of the water reservoir at Świnna Poręba on the border of the Middle and Small Beskidy Mts. unexpectedly traces of the Late Paleolithic settlement of Świdry culture were discovered, among them remains of two dwelling features. Besides them the site provided numerous Mesolithic artifacts, traces of Neolithic settlement, assemblages representing two different variants of Bronze Age Mierzanowice culture and finally remains connected with medieval occupation. Studies on stone artifacts demonstrated that mainly during the Mesolithic period local deposits of Mikuszowice hornstone were exploited. Presence of the artifacts made of raw materials coming from some distance sources (e.g. Jurassic flint) was confirmed as well. Presented results put new light on the problem of detectability of archaeological sites within mountain zones of southern Poland, as well as on the character of prehistorical settlement traces on the territory.

Opis:
The aim of this article is to analyze several hundred primeval artifacts (329 flints, 3 stone tools and 9 pieces of Neolithic pottery), which were found during excavations on Ostrów Lednicki and the burial ground in Dziekanowice. The above mentioned artifacts were found on a secondary deposit, in early medieval layers or in objects, and in a primaeval layer, which was detected in the immediate vicinity of Lednica Palatium. This significantly influences the interpretation options and only allows chronological and taxonomic classification of the artifacts with characteristic technological and typological features. 4 flint artifacts were connected with the Late Paleolithic stage of penetration of Ostrów Lednicki and its immediate surroundings, i.e. a part of a massive endscraper, a tanged point, a part of a shaft of a tanged point and of a backed piece. Because of the presence of tanged points, it is highly probable that the analyzed collection can be connected with flint manufacturing of the Świderska culture community. Ostrów Lednicki and its surroundings were also penetrated by Holocene hunter-gatherers, which is indicated by the presence of 14 Mesolithic flint artifacts. In the majority of cases they were cores, often microlithic, highly exploited. There were also single tools, such as a slender backed piece and two scrapers. Three stone artifacts can be clearly connected with the Neolithic — two hatchets made from fine-crystalline sandstone and a quartzitic broadax as well as several pieces of pottery. In the case of the pottery, 5 pieces should be connected with the presence of the Late Band Pottery Culture on Ostrów Lednicki, while 4 with the Funnel Beaker Culture communities. The remaining flint artifacts can only be generally associated with the Stone Age.

Despite a growing recognition of late Palaeolithic and Mesolithic settlement in recent years, the area of Pojezierze Łagowskie still represents one of less known regions of western Poland, both in terms of Old and Middle Stone Age settlement and reconstruction of of contemporary environmental conditions. The article provides results of technological, typological, functional analyses, as well as that of raw materials used in stone industry of Mesolithic communities occupying sites 13 and 16 in Wilenko. Majority of functional tools is characterised by use-wear traces, which should be interpreted as results of variability of meat, bone, antler, and leather processing activities or game hunting. In the article an attempt has been made to reconstruct environmental conditions, on the basis of the results of pollen analysis.

Opis:
Rejon Puław jest słabo rozpoznany pod kątem osadnictwa przedneolitycznego. Znane są stąd nieliczne stanowiska, które można łączyć z paleolitem lub mezolitem. Należy do nich nowe stanowisko Pulki 1 położone na łagodnym stoku wydmy opadającym ku dopływowi rzeki Kurówki. Materiały z czasów poprzedzających początek neolitu stanowią jedynie niewielką część znalezisk. Pozyskano w sumie 411 zabytków krzemiennych. W skład inwentarza wchodzi 17 rdzeni, łuszczeń, 50 narzędzi, oraz debitaż i odpadki. Artefakty wykonano z kilku rodzajów surowców kamiennych, głównie z lokalnego krzemienia narzutowego. Mniej licznie reprezentowany jest krzemień czekoladowy, świeciechowski i wołyński. Niemal 40% inwentarza jest przepalona. W grupie rdzeni dominują drobne albo nawet mikrolityczne rdzenie do wiórków, niekiedy połączonych z otrzymywaniem odłupków lub wiórów. Niemal wszystkie to formy szczątkowe, jednopiętowe lub ze zmianą orientacji. Ponad połowę debitażu stanowią wióry i wiórki. Odłupki to głównie odpadki z zapraw bądź napraw rdzeni. W grupie narzędzi dominują zbrojniki (wiórki tylcowe, trójkąty i trapezy, półtylczaki) i drapacze, które łącznie stanowią 60% wszystkich narzędzi. Wśród pozostałych występują dwa liściaki trzpieniowate oraz ciosak. Z analizy inwentarza wynika, że jest to niemal w całości pozostałość osadnictwa mezolitycznego – najpewniej młodszej fazy kultury komornickiej. Tylko pojedyncze zabytki są na pewno starsze (liściaki) bądź młodsze (grocik z wklęsłą podstawą).Stanowisko w Pulkach jest kolejnym śladem osadnictwa z początków holocenu odnotowanym na obszarach położonych po wschodniej stronie Wisły. Jest to też jedno z nielicznych stanowisk, które przebadano wykopaliskowo.
The Puławy region is poorly recognized in terms of pre-Neolithic settlement. There are few known sites that can be connected with the Palaeolithic or Mesolithic, among them Pulki 1. The site is located on a gentle slope of a dune, falling towards a tributary of the Kurówka river. The materials dating from before the beginning of the Neolithic period constitute only a small part of the findings. A total of 411 flint artefacts have been obtained. The inventory consists of 17 cores, 1 flake, 50 tools, debris and waste product. Artefacts are made of several types of stone raw materials, mainly local erratic flint. Chocolate, Świeciechów and Volhynian flint is less represented. Nearly 40% of the artefacts are burnt. The group of cores is dominated by small or even microlithic cores for bladelets, sometimes combined with obtaining flakes or bladelets. Almost all of them are residual forms, mono-directional or with a change of orientation. More than half of the debitage is made up of blades or bladelets. Flakes are mainly waste from core preparation or repairs. The group of tools is dominated by microliths (backed bladelets, triangles and trapeze, truncated bladelets) and endscrapers, which together account for 60% of all tools. Among the others, there are two tanged points and an adze. The inventory analysis shows that this is almost entirely a relic of the Mesolithic settlement – most probably of the younger phase of the Komornicka culture. Only single artefacts are certainly older (tanged points) or younger (a point with a concave base). The site in Pulki is another trace of settlement from the beginning of the Holocene recorded in areas located on the eastern side of the Vistula. It is also one of the few sites which were excavated.

Opis:
The artefact under study was found in 2017 in a gravel pit located in the village of Borki, Radzymin County in Eastern Poland (Fig. 1). The object was unearthed during the industrial extraction of sand from the former bed of the Bug River and, according to the finder, was located at a depth of about 16–18 m. The tool is 21 cm long, with a width of 6 cm and a thickness of approx. 4 cm, both measured at half the length of the specimen. The blade is bevelled on one side, and the object is cream-coloured (Fig. 2). The mattock was made out of a radial bone of a large ruminant, probably aurochs or European bison (Fig. 3). The radiocarbon date of 9180± 50 BP (Poz-97932) obtained for the mattock from Borki makes it one of (if not) the oldest known objects of this kind and allows us to assume that it was made during the Preboreal Period (Fig. 5). The vast majority of objects analogous to the mattock described come from the Boreal period and are associated with Maglemosian communities. However, considering the territorial range of the Maglemosian Culture, which covered the area of the South Baltic Lakelands (J. Kabaciński 2016, 263, 264, fig. 22), and the fact that the artefact was discovered in Mazovia, it seems much more probable that it is connected with the Komornica Culture. As a result of traceological analysis, interesting technological and functional traces were observed on the item. As regards the methods employed to form the tool, the wide use of the nicking technique (Fig. 2:B, 6:D.E; É. David 2007, 39), used to shape the blade and flat surfaces of the specimen, draws particular attention. The traces of use-wear registered on the mattock (Fig. 6:L–N) indicate that it was most likely used for chopping/hewing soft wood. The tool from Borki is undoubtedly unique in form and currently has no strict analogies among other early Holocene objects made of aurochs long bones from either Poland or Europe. Radiocarbon dating places the mattock among the few Mesolithic bone artefacts from the Preboreal Period known in Poland. Traceological analyses have shown a number of interesting technological and use-wear traces on its surface, which can provide a good basis for further technological and functional studies of this type of object.

Opis:
According to a common belief, southern Poland was a typical area of Early Neolithic settlements which was rarely exploited and even ignored by Mesolithic communities. However, the prehistoric reality was more complex. Indeed, the zones largely omitted by the hunter-gatherers were fertile loess uplands and foothills settled by the first Neolithic farmers (Linear Band Pottery culture) in the third quarter of the 6th millennium BC. However, such ecological zones are by no means the only or even predominant zones within the territory in question. Areas with other ecological conditions, mainly those close to the Polish Lowland, yielded surprisingly numerous remains of Mesolithic settlements, including late Mesolithic ones. Radiocarbon data makes it clear that the Late Mesolithic communities coexisted with their Neolithic counterparts. However, the temporal dimension of this coexistence remains a debatable and controversial issue. Nevertheless, it is highly probable that the late hunter-gatherers would use ‘their own’ pottery also in southern Poland. Similarly to many other European regions, the anthropological and historical interpretations that describe and explain the interactions between early farmers and late hunter-gatherers in southern Poland (as well as archaeologically discernible transformations within the latter group) are difficult to construct. It is even more difficult to assess the role played by hunter-gatherers in the neolithisation of this territory. This paper presents and analyses the relevant chronological, chorological, settlement, and typological data. As a result, the hypothesis that the hunter-gatherer communities were but ‘passive’ witnesses to the first neolithisation and functioned independently at least throughout the entire Neolithic period was considered most probable.
