Summary/Abstract: This study analyses the lithic material discovered during the excavations conducted between 2015–2017, on the Eneolithic cemetery located in Pecica, Arad County. This lithic group is formed of 70 artefacts: 55 elements knapped of flint and 15 elements knapped of obsidian. Our analysis followed a few main directions, such as: establishing the types and sources of the raw material, the determination of the technological characteristics and the typological framing. A few preliminary observations regarding the correlation between the type of material and the context in which it was discovered were also made.
