“…Signs of increasing social complexity at this site were found in settlement data, burial practices, and the presence of specialists and non-local people residing within the community. Economic shifts were seen in the intensification of sheep and cattle rearing and increasing emphasis on fiber and textile production in the household (Pipes et al 2009(Pipes et al , 2010(Pipes et al , 2014(Pipes et al , 2015(Pipes et al , 2017.

The first evidence for fiber and textile production appeared around 5500 BC with the advent of Linear Pottery culture in southeastern Poland. By the fourth millennium BC, agricultural societies were well established and becoming increasingly sophisticated. Around 3700 BC the settlement of Bronocice began to develop economically, politically and technologically. From that time until the settlement collapsed around 2900 BC fiber and cloth production increased in scale. Unfortunately, there are few traces of textiles and no artistic representations exist of clothes worn by people living at the site. Instead, the proof lies in sheep skeletal remains, bone tools and clay artifacts.

By examining flint artifacts, we investigated Funnel Beaker households at Bronocice, Pińczów district and the development of flint knapping as a family tradition. Lithic data, raw materials and production debris, are reflections of social changes that occurred in the settlement. Flint workshops and a bakery were investigated and flint types, tool diversity and volume of debitage compared. Trade in lithic materials is indicated by exotic flint types from distant sources, however most flint came from a nearby source.
