Flint arrowheads from the inventories of the Corded Ware culture: morphology and function - on the example grave from Mydłów (Sandomierz Upland)

Flint arrowheads are one of the most common artefact types found in funerary materials attributed to the Corded Ware culture. One of the most numerous sets was discovered in Mydłów (Sandomierz Upland) in 1990. It was composed of 27 arrowheads deposited in feature No. 2. In order to better understand the character of this collection, it was re-examined with the use of new findings concerning the most recent study of CWC flint-knapping across Lesser Poland. The research was considerably enriched with microscopic analyses – conducted to identify potential use-wear patterns on the surfaces of the artefacts – which made it possible for us to obtain as much information as possible.
