The article presents an analysis of grave goods from a Corded Ware Culture burial dis-covered on the Nieborowa I site in central-eastern Poland. A functional analysis of flint objects indicated the presence of seven arrowheads, a side-scraper and fire flint among the grave goods. The arrowheads were not used as points; three of them bore traces of mounting. They were found in one spot, suggesting that they had been placed in the grave in a container of some kind (quiver ?). The mounting traces were not too strong or were absent altogether, thus the arrowheads could well have been placed in a container other than a quiver (bag?). Traces observed on the edges of one of the examined flint objects demonstrated its function as a fire flint. The side-scraper was used for work on a hard material. The observed similarities of the flint tool set placed as grave goods in burials of males of Corded Ware Culture and the observed traces of use on these tools point to a strictly defined set of rules governing burial rites in this cultural phase.

Anthropomorphic figurines made of bone and flint, found on two sites, Wilczyce and Nieborowa in southeastern Poland are discussed. Wilczyce provided numerous flint and bone artefacts connected with Magdalenian settlement. 14C dating has placed the site in the second Greenland stadial (upper Oldest Dryas). The total number of figurines found during survey and excavations amounted to 54; 50 were made of flint and four of bone. There were three spots of their concentration: in the northern part of the site, in the center and at the southern end. The classification of flint figurines into right and left-sided was carried out based on the placement of the buttocks. The presence of all stages of production indicates that they were probably made on site. Flint figurine length varies between 27 and 83 mm. They were made of two kinds of flint: chocolate and Turonian. Among the bone figurines three are of approximately the same length, while the fourth is distinguished by shape as well as size. Its presence in the central part of the site has been associated potentially with a child burial discovered there. Flint sculptures from Magdalenian culture are seldom found. The only other find apart from the Wilczyce figurines is a horse from the Étiolles site in France. The Nieborowa site (excavated 1964-1977) provided diverse archeological data from the Terminal Paleolithic to the Early Iron Age among them the figurine preserved fragmentarily. Its morphology and style represent a canon noted in flint anthropomorphic figural art occurring in paraneolithic groups from the Great Russian Plain like an object from Končanskoe IV lying in the upper Volga basin.

The authors of the paper present the results of research, the subject of which was the inhumation burial of the Corded Ware culture from Wilczyce. The site is located on the culmination of the southern slope of a loess hill, rising directly above the valley of the Opatówka River. The grave goods consisted of: an amphora, three cups, two miniature vessels, 41 wolf tooth pendants and disc-shaped shell beads. Radiocarbon dating result on bones from the burial is 3960 ± 30 BP (Poz-80189).
