Summary/Abstract: The quadrangular, fully polished axe, made of banded flint, from Berezka, Solina Commune, Lesko district, bears a resemblance in shape, manufacturing technique, and material to axes associated with the Globular Amphora culture. It was discovered accidentally as a loose find. No other finds from this culture were recorded in its vicinity. It represents evidence of the penetration of the Globular Amphora culture population, or it could have been produced within this cultural context. Still, the last user may have belonged to the Funnel Beaker culture or the Corded Ware culture.
