The macrolithic flint blades of the neolithic times in Poland
Blade production
There are some factors that may indicate that these large blades were de
tached with applied pressure. Above all it is the extraordinary regularity of
sides and thickness (Figs. 6, 7). Another premise supporting this suggestion
is the very strong reduction of striking platform before every detachment
the case of FBC, there is one additional factor which relates to the economy
Archaeological Museum in Warsaw we investigated one of the inventories of

of the blocks revealed a process of reshaping blade cores to quadrangular
axes, typical for this cultural group. It was interesting to note that the analy
this process was more or less typical for this tradition. Our analysis was also
production. The process can be described as follows:
1. Shaping the core together with all necessary crests was carried out
2. Exploitation of cores by pressure was probably carried out in only
Bodiaki (Skakun 1996))
4. Accumulation of cores in huts (for example 22 specimens at Bodiaki,
see Skakun 1996 or the Sapanów collection at State Archaeologi
et al. 2002).
The shaping and reworking of cores into axes was no doubt executed with a
punch technique and the production of blades by using a pressure technique.
