Summary/Abstract: The non‐polished lithic artefacts from the Hamangia cemetery at Cernavodă – Columbia D belong to several technological groups, namelylaminar blanks, flakes, cores, hammers and indeterminate fragments, all of them made of various types of chert and limestone. Most of the laminar blanks are represented by proximal and median fragments. Some of the intentionally modified ones are endscrapers, truncated blades, or marginally retouched blades. When available, their archaeological context (inside/outside of the grave, sex and age of the deceased, etc.) will be discussed.
