Prompted by the discovery of a small workshop producing axes of red deer antler (the so-called T-shaped axes) at Bodzia, site 1 (Kuyavia), this paper addresses the issue of the origin and chronology of the said axes. In the first place, we shall present the inventory the workshop yielded and then analyse the distribution of T-shaped axes in Europe, especially in the European Lowland, in the context of antler production of the Late Mesolithic communities of the circa Baltic zone and the southern coasts of the North Sea and also within the Early Neolithic groups in Northern Europe. We shall also recount the discussion that has recently developed around this question
