More than a thousand flint tools and waste generated on during their
treatment were discovered near Pietrowice Wielkie (Silesia) by
archaeologists from the Institute of Archaeology, University of Wrocław -
told PAP head researcher Dr. Andrzej Wiśniewski.
The flint workshops, remains of which were found by archaeologists, had
been used by Neanderthals. The researchers are waiting for more
detailed information on the site dating. The workshop is certainly more
than 45 thousand years old. "Tools were made by a specific canon of Neanderthals living in Central
Europe. These items have a cutting edge on both sides, they are
bifacial" - said Dr. Wiśniewski.
