The article is a reflection on the research on the neolithic flint working ongoing in Polish archaeology for over 40 years. Accepting year 1971 as a turning point for the development of a new specialisation, an attempt has been made in the article to assess the impact of the assumptions of the New Archaeology, but also other paradigms, on the study of neolithic flint artefacts. The evaluation was based on the conclusions resulting from, among others, a textual analysis, for the purpose of this article understood as a kind of source of knowledge about more or less consciously accepted theoretical assumptions in studies on flint working, published by various authors, in methods of classifying data in particular, and their position in the process of describing/explaining/interpreting past reality.

The paper is an outline of history of the tool function studies in the Polish Stone Age archaeology. An experimental-traseological method of the Russian scholar S. A. Semenov has been known in archaeology for about forty years. This microscopic method of tool function identification has soon become one of the most important methods of archaeological data analysis from the oldest phases of prehistory. The paper discusses reasons of a poor reception of traseology in Poland. This lack of reflection on tool function is linked to a dominant culture-historical paradigm in Stone Age archaeology.

Selected flint specimens from the mine in Sąspów, Kraków district, have been used to demonstrate the usefulness of the method for a currently implemented program of research on the material from the Wierzbica “Zele” mine, Radom district. This chocolate flint mine, excavated in the 1980s, was exploited by the Mierzanowicka and Lusatian cultures. Already it has been shown that the flint knives of the “Zele” type testify to the high skills of the Late Bronze Age flint knappers. Traseological analyses can supply proof of the use of flint blades and flakes as knives for repetitive actions like cutting animal hides, meat and other organic materials, but they can be helpless in demonstrating the use of them for individual or sporadic ritual procedures. The analysis concerned 91 specimens from the excavations in 1962 in Sąspów, distinguished as mining tools based on morphological traits. Microscopic analysis by J. Małecka -Kukawka has demonstrated evident traces of wear on only 11 of these specimens, suggesting that a large part of the examined specimens were “pseudo-tools”. Taking into consideration archaeological features and structures found in the area of the mines, the possibility that ancient pseudo-retouching can occur on flint specimens originating from the mining fields is incomparably higher than on specimens from other. It is therefore fully justified to treat various fragmentary retouches on blade and flake specimens from mines with the utmost caution. The material from Sąspów demonstrates that only the coupling of morphological characteristics with the results of microwear analyses can allow a given specimen to be attributed to the tools group. Applying the method to the examination of selected specimens from the Wierzbica “Zele” mine should verify these conclusions.

The paper contains critical comments on the article by Agnieszka Czekaj-Zastawny, Jacek Kabaciński and Thomas Terberger entitled “The origins of the Funnel Beaker culture in the context of cultural changes in Northern Europe in the fifth millennium BC ”, which appeared in Przegląd Archeologiczny (Archaeological Review), volume 61. The paper stresses the incompatibility between the content and the declaration in the title, as well as ignoring the current archaeological knowledge. At the level of source studies and interpretation, the work contains errors and inaccuracies of theses as regards the results of research conducted at the site in Dąbki in Middle Pomerania. Hypotheses about the continuity of the settlement at this site, the evolution of Mesolithic pottery towards funnel beakers and the postulated chronology of events were brought up for special discussion. With reference to that, logical incorrectness of the assumed processes of the origins and spread of the Funnel Beaker culture has been suggested.
