Summary/Abstract: Archaeological research carried out over time in the reference sites of the Neo-Eneolithic in Olt County has led to the discovery, along with an impressive amount of pottery, and an appreciable number of polished stone tools. Unfortunately, their publication was summarized in studies where they were not the main object. The subject of our article is the presentation of three prehistoric axes, probably Neo-Eneolithic, unfortunately, accidental discoveries, without a clear stratigraphic context. From this point of view, we propose the composition of some synthesis works regarding the polished stone tools from Oltenia, works in which to be presented both from a typological and cultural aspect the evolution of the polished stone tools from the mentioned space.
