The authors present possibilities of examination and analyses performed by implementing GIS tools as used for the needs of archaeological surface survey. The research took place on the chocolate flint mining and processing sites, in the northwesternmost part of the deposits, in the Orońsko community. Information was obtained on the basis of archive, cartographic (topographic, geologic, hydrographical maps) and remote sensing data (LIDAR, aerial photos, satellite imagery), as well as by verification of surface survey, which all were compared by means of a free QGIS program, version 2.16.2. GIS software made the integration of multidimensional data possible and enhanced the efficiency of fieldwork and cabinet work.

This article tackles the issue of the use of truncations by the population of the Lublin-Volhynian culture. The corpus of sources for their analyses is a group of 27 tools discovered during the research of the Las Stocki settlement, site 7. Microscopic observation made it possible to separate a considerable group of artefacts bearing use-wear traces on their surfaces. The most numerous were items used for processing plant material and wood. Other activities, like processing stone/pottery, hide, and other unspecified materials were recorded sporadically. Another research problem was the attempt to reconstruct the biographies of the stone tools. The analyses indicated that the materials were only partly useful in the research. This was caused by the poor preservation state of the artefacts and of the recorded use-wear traces. Tackling this issue gave the best results in the case of items used for cutting siliceous plants, which undoubtedly resulted from the distinct character of such use-wear patterns

In the spring of 2002, an object of regular shape was found during home gardening in the village of Tychów Nowy, comm. Mirzec, distr. Starachowice, woj. świętokrzyskie. The object had regular trapezoidal outline in plane, with a slightly oblique and rounded butt, and a damaged cutting edge (Fig. 1). The majority of the surface of the object, apart from the dihedral side, show clear traces of multidirectional polishing which also covers the area of the butt. The tool was made of the chocolate flint. We are dealing here with a knife-like form – a kind of backed knife, which in its final shape could have been also used as an axe. Taking into account the original function as a backed knife, the dating of the object should be narrowed down to the Early Bronze Age, most probably to the Mierzanowice Culture.
