Some papers contained in a book 'Idea megalityczna w obrzadku pogrzebowym kultury pucharów lejkowatych' (The Megalithic Idea in Funeral Rites of the Funnelbeaker Culture) (Lublin-Kraków 2006) edited by Jerzy Libera and Krzysztof Tunia are the subject of reflections. The author critically assesses the conception of research on the long barrows which dominates the book. In conclusion, he postulates broadening of researches on the megalithic idea by new approaches (inter alia from the point of view of landscape archaeology), which can give new meanings and understanding of tombs and Neolithic communities in the Polish lands.

At the beginning of the 1980s, a single fi nd of a fl int dagger was made in Brzoza (northern Kuyavia, Poland). The dagger was investigated in terms of raw material profi le, typological, technological and use-wear analyses. It was established that it was made of Scandinavian Cretaceous fl int and may be classifi ed into the subtype VIA (acc. Lomborg) or subvariant BBII2a (acc. Libera). The chronology of the dagger tends to be placed towards the end of the Early Bronze Age or the beginning of the Older Bronze Age in Poland (ca 1700-1500 cal BC). By means of use-wear analysis, diversifi ed and well-developed usage traces were recognized on the surface of the dagger. Some of them resulted in an obverse and inverse retouch indicative of secondary treatment. Here it appears that the dagger from Brzoza may be considered as an import from the western-Baltic production centre. Before deposition, the dagger had also been frequently used as a strike-a-light.

In the archaeological collection of the Museum in Grudziądz there is the cooper axe (inventory no. MG/A/158, previously no. 3407, fig. 1), of the Neolitic chronology. This is one of the oldest metal artifacts items from Lower Vistula Valley and Grudziądz Basin. The axe relic was discovered in 1896 in Weißhof, Kr. Graudenz (Białydwór, dis. Grudziądz), as an isolated artifact. We do not know whether the axe was a part of a hoard a treasure, or an element of burial equipment, or whether it was abandoned or deposited in some settlement in the Neolitic. We may assume that this isolated artifact was taken out of primary archaeological context that remains obscure to us. As a result the scientific value of the discovery was reduced to information on the circumstances of the discovery and morphological and technological features of item the axe. These data have not been fully exhausted yet. The presented article is supposed to organize and verify the information on the axe from Biały Bór, and, most importantly, entend the scope of existing findings in order to include the newest metallurgical analyses, covering the analysis of elemental composition and macrostructure.

W artykule przedstawiono wyniki studiów archeometalurgicznych dotyczących płaskiej siekiery, odkrytej przypadkowo w 2016 r. na gruntach miejscowości Łady, gm. Iłów, pow. sochaczewski. Zabytek jest pierwszym okazem eneolitycznej siekiery miedzianej z Mazowsza. Przeprowadzono badanie składu surowcowego siekiery (EDXRF) i analizę jej powierzchni (OM). Określono przynależność typologiczną zabytku i poddano pod dyskusję kulturowo- społeczny kontekst siekier płaskich na obszarze ziem polskich. Ustalono, że siekiera została odlana z miedzi arsenowej i nie była najprawdopodobniej użytkowana w pradziejach. Kontekst odkrycia oraz stan zachowania zabytku wskazują, że został on zdeponowany w środowisku mokrym. Na podstawie analizy typologicznej siekierę z Ład zaklasyfikowano do typu Bytyń w wariancie A. Powinno się zatem traktować ją jako pojedynczy skarb akwatyczny, zdeponowany przez wspólnoty kultury pucharów lejkowatych z Kotliny Warszawskiej między 3600/3500–3200/3100 cal.BC.

This work presents the archaeometallurgical studies performed on the flat axe discovered accidentally in 2016 near the village Łady, Iłów commune, Sochaczew district. The axe is the first find of such an object reported from Mazovia. The axe is described in terms of raw-material profile (EDXRF) as well as its macrostucture (OM). This has been juxtaposed throughout this work with the results of typological and contextual (sociocultural) analysis of the Bytyń axes, which have also been found on Polish territory. It has been established that the axe was cast from arsenical copper. It is likely that the find from Łady did not serve as a functional tool in the past. The discovery context and the state of preservation indicate that the axe was deposited in an aquatic environment. By means of a typological analysis the find from Łady was classified as a flat axe of Bytyń A type and therefore it should be considered as the single hoard deposited by the Funnel Beaker culture communities from the Warsaw Basin between 3600/3500 and 3200/3100 cal. BC.
