Much more voluminous material is dated to the Upper Palaeolithic (Magdalenian). In the Funnel Beaker Culture (FBC) inventories striped flint artifacts account for a high percentage of finds only in Małopolska (Little Poland), directly around the exploitation points, the Sandomierz Upland and the Nałęczów Plateau. This percentage clearly depends on the distance from places of exploitation: close to the mines in Magonie — Folwarczysko basin striped flint dominates over the other raw materials. The next culture utilizing striped flint was the Globular Amphora Culture (GAC). In inventories from the Małopolska Upland there is a high percentage of striped flint, ranging from 30 to 90%. In north-western Poland, striped flint percentages are high (up to 40%) only in grave assemblages, due to the large number of axes. The picture is different if one considers only the square axes. These implements made from striped flint are a regular element of GAC inventories. In all of the Central Małopolska Upland they constitute more than 90% of all artifacts of this category. In grave inventories from north-western Poland axes made from striped flint comprise close to 75 % of all the axes. In the Sandomierz Upland the distribution of GAC settlement points betrays an influence of mining and production centers. The role of striped flint is greater in inventories of the Mierzanowice Culture, especially in its later phase.
