Abstract: The authors describe a Neolithic ground stone adze, retrieved from an Early Iron Age burial (c. 700–550 BC) at the urnfield cemetery in Miłosławice, south-western Poland. This artefact yields an interesting example of an extended tool biography.

Museum collections contain numerous finds that are considered low-quality data and do not attract the proper attention of researchers. The most common reason is the uncertain context of the finds or lack of other precise identification. The main aim of this paper is to increase the scientific value of so-called stray finds. The collection of the Neolithic stone tools from two museums was subjected to multifaceted analysis combined with detailed archival research. The results allowed us to address two important aspects. At the level of objects, the use of microscopic observations proved the complexity and prolonged use-life of the Neolithic tools. At the cultural level, the re-evaluation of stray finds introduces changes in the range of Neolithic settlements in SW Poland.

The article primarily presents two small-sized finds from the group of the little-known chipped stone industry of the Proto-Eneolithic Jordanów culture in Bohemia. These chipped stone artefacts from Central Bohemia reflect human behaviour in settlement and mortuary contexts. The first find, a knife made of Baiersdorf tabular chert, was found at a settlement site from the upper phase of the Jordanów culture that had been reutilised as a splintered piece. This is typical of the Proto-Eneolithic and Early Eneolithic periods (e.g. the Funnel Beaker Culture). The second find was a blade of an earlier – perhaps from the Paleolithic period – which had been retrieved and retouched during the Eneolithic age and deposited in a grave dating from the upper phase of the Jordanów culture. The authors also draw attention to other constituent-related issues, such as the advent of flat retouched and longer blades during the Proto-Eneolithic period. The informative potential of the chipped stone industry for monitoring cultural and chronological issues has not yet been fully exploited. This also includes technological and typological changes and the differences between the Lengyel and Jordanów cultures.
