| Summary: | The settlement of the Linear Pottery culture population documented in Kostomłoty, Środa Śląska district, consisted of characteristic longhouses accompanied by various pits forming isolated households. Seven such complexes were observed within the excavated area as well as a complex of spacious dug-out features differing from typical Linear Pottery culture pits. The analysis of the flintworking from this settlement provides new data on the function of this aspect of manufacturing and its context in the first farming communities in Silesia. The unusual character of flintworking in the settlement in Kostomłoty is attributed to being a probable result of the settlement’s marginal location in relation to the centre of Linear Pottery culture settlement.
