The Institute of Archaeology of the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, Lublin, obtained an artefact which was accidentally found a few years earlier at the territory of the village of Polubicze Wiejskie I, comm. Wisznice, distr. Biała Podlaska, woj. lubelskie. It is a stone hoe with an elongated (high) trapezoidal outline in plane. It was made from a layered rock of the quartzite sandstone type, with natural front surfaces. It was polished only at the cutting edge and only slightly on the sides. In cross section, the hoe resembles a quadrangle with rounded sides, especially the top side. It has a cutting edge, which in side profile is situated at the extension of one of the surfaces of the front side. Measurements: length – 18.5 cm, width of cutting edge – 7.5 cm, of butt – 4 cm, thickness – 1.8–2 cm, weight – 400 g (Fig. 1). Morphologically similar items are known from the territory of Russia – the area of the Oka and upper Volga basins (the settlements Dubrovichi, Russko-Lugovskaya, the cemetery at Yazykovo I), Belarus – from the middle Berezyna River (Zhukovets), as well as Ukraine – eastern areas of the Black Sea (Kistrik). This points out to an eastern origin of the item under study. In the case of cultural influences from the area of the East-European Lowland, this would be an import (?) from the circle of cultures of the forest zone (sub-Neolithic) reaching the left bank of the middle Bug basin. This phenomenon should be referred to the turn of the 3rd and 2nd millennia BC.
