The paper presents results of technological and functional analyses of flint artefacts from the site 29 at Księginice Wielkie, distr. Strzelin (SW Poland) dated back to the Lengyel culture. In our studies we took into consideration all phases of raw material transformation starting from its procurement, methods of blank production to the use and maintenance of tools. As a result of these studies, including more than 600 artefacts, we reached some interesting conclusions about adaptation of local group/groups inhabiting the settlement to the local raw material conditions, characterized by medium quality concretions obtained from moraine deposits. In the light of analyses it follows that in case of the site at Księginice Wielkie we deal with economical resource management. It appears that inhabitants of Księginice Wielkie reconciled their daily needs with local raw material situation. Finally, it should be mentioned that this model concerns only the situation from Księginice Wielkie and without former analyses taking into account such factors as the access to raw material or the length and way of exploitation of particular area, should not be applied to other sites
