The site was discovered in 1921. It is located in the sandy area of the Iłża Foreland, in central Poland on the Kamienna river, a left tributary of the middle Vistula river. In 1922 the Borownia site was referred to as a campignian striped flint mine. In 1935 it became a protected area because of the well-preserved prehistoric mine landscape. Since its discovery, it has been repeatedly studied by non-destructive methods. In 2017 a decision was made to submit the site for entry on the World Heritage List as part of the Krzemionki Prehistoric Striped Flint Mining Region. In the same year the first excavations were carried out in order to obtain samples for mine dating by the 14C method. In light of the archaeological material and dates it was found that the flint deposit was mined in the early Bronze Age, between 2300 and 1600/1500 cal. BC . From striped flint bifacial axe blades and adzes were produced. The author believes that the mine was exploited by communities inhabiting the small Gierczanka river area, mainly in the settlement Mierzanowice, located 10 km south of Borownia, on the loess upland (the Mierzanowice culture). On July 6, 2019 the mine, together with the Krzemionki Prehistoric Striped Flint Mining Region, was entered on the World Heritage List. The article presents three visualizations: the shaft, the Borownia mining field, and settlement Mierzanowice.

The Author was a member of the Prehistoric Flint Mining Research Team of the State Archaeological Museum (SAM) in Warsaw. In the years 1985–2000 the Research Team shaped the strategy of research and development of Krzemionki. As a SAM Team member (1985–1993) the Author was responsible for the works in the hinterland settlements of flint mines, the development of the open-air museum and popularisation of Krzemionki. In this paper he gives response to allegations and points to the obscurities and mistakes contained in the polemic article of prof. Jacek Lech pt. Do historii badań i udostępnienia neolitycznej kopalni krzemienia pasiastego w Krzemionkach (Some remarks concerning the history of research and public accessibility of the Neolithic mine of stripped flint at Krzemionki) published in 2016.

The prehistoric flint mine in Spiennes made the pages of archaeological history 150 years ago. The discovery of mining shafts and underground galleries dating to the Neolithic period was a world sensation in 1867 and it initiated archaeological research into ancient mining in Belgium, Great Britain and other countries. Once the Neolithic remains of striped flint exploitation were discovered in 1922 in Krzemionki Opatowskie, the Spiennes shafts and flint workshops became an important point of reference for the mine in Polish territory. The prehistoric mine in Belgium was listed on the World Heritage List in 2000, confirming its exceptional importance. Now the Krzemionki Prehistoric Striped Flint Mining Region is in the running for the same recognition. In this context the article presents the history of archaeological research in Spiennes through the beginning of the 21st century.
