Summary/Abstract: In this short contribution we analysed the flint and polished stone material discovered by E. Comșa in the archaeological test pit excavated in 1959, on the tell settlement from Luncavița, „Cetățuia” point. Named Trench B, it had the dimensions 8 × 3 m and it was excavated in the interval 12-26 November 1959, in this campaign participating, alongside E. Comșa, Gh. Cantacuzino and G. Simion. In this analysis, we approached several aspects that contribute to improving our understanding of an artifact`s operational sequence from raw material block to discarded item.
