The concept of Terminal Lithic Industries has been developed as a result of a century-long interest of Polish archaeologists in chipped stone materials from the turn of Stone and Bronze Ages. Terminal assemblages of that period are described by such elements as: prevalence of easy available local rocks of any quality over imported rocks, decline of laminar techniques, gradual replacement of typological tools by non-typological forms of expedient use, the presence of implements of «high technical investment» serving mainly as prestige symbols, etc. The concept is presented in relations to lithic assemblages from younger stages of the Moravian Eneolithic.

The presented publication is the end result of an authorial, post-doctoral research project devoted to the multi-aspect flint tool dichotomy at the turn of the Stone and Metal Ages. The results of use-wear analysis of archaeological materials from south-eastern Poland and the Moravia region of the Czech Republic, obtained by the author over the last decade, have been supplemented in this article with a philosophical component. By visualising the network of connections on the empirical-theory line, the explanatory value of the dichotomous lithic concept was raised. Moreover, the discourse on the period at the turn of the Stone and Metal Ages has been enriched with new interpretative solutions for economic and social issues of that time in prehistory. The author places his philosophical investigations within the hermeneutical approach. After the study of key terms (dichotomy, divergence, convergence), structuralist thought becomes the leading theme at the end of the article. The paper deals with the concepts of such thinkers as: Martin Heidegger, Hannah Arendt, and Claude Lévi-Strauss.
