Summary/Abstract: As part of the interdisciplinary research conducted in the settlement microregion in the area of Ulów in Central Roztocze (south-east Poland), a complex of late Neolithic barrows connected with the Corded Ware Culture was discovered. Apart from numerous ceramic objects, grave inventories included flint artefacts, some of which underwent use-wear analysis in order to identify their potential function, and the way they were produced. This paper presents detailed results of use-wear analysis of arrowheads, blade and flake specimens, and axes discovered in four barrows located at sites 3 and 4 in Ulów.
