In December 2021, a stone axe was found on the sill of a basement window in the premises of the ‘Siedlisko Błaskowizna’ agro-tourism farm in the village of Błaskowizna, No. 33, Suwałki County, Podlaskie Voivodship (Fig. 1). The axe had been found on the farm several years earlier during the construction or renovation of a house.

The stone object has an unformed pentagonal shape, slightly asymmetrical in its horizontal outline and combined with a fading arch shape in its lateral projection. It has a hole, probably drilled on both sides, in the middle part between the blade and the head (Fig. 2, Table 1). According to P. Włodarczak, the axe from Błaskowizna belongs to type C, while according to the systematics of J. Libera and J. Sobieraj, it belongs to subtype 1D – a group of ‘atypical’ axes with ‘boat-shaped’ forms.

Such axes had both a fighting and an utilitarian function in Late Neolithic communities from of the Corded Ware Culture and are among the artefacts distinctive for this culture. Due to the lack of an original context, it is impossible to establish a narrower chronological range of this axe, but such objects were used primarily in the 1st half of the 3rd and early 2nd millennium BCE.
