Opis
The first scientific investigations of the sources of flint in Poland were undertaken by archaeologist Stefan Krukowski and geologist Jan Samsonowicz in the early 20th century. Krukowski used archaeological materials to identify the macroscopic characteristics of 'chocolate' flints, described their differences, and showed the potential location of the deposits (Krukowski 1920: 189-195; Budziszewski 2008: 33). In the search for deposits of Hint, their outcrops, and prehistoric mines, Krukowski was accompanied by young geologist Jan Samsonowicz. Ihe result of their cooperation was the discovery in 1921 of in situ deposits and surface accumulations of limestones containing fragments of Hint and, in 1922, the identification of a prehistoric mine at Krzemionki Opatowskie (Krukowski 1923; Samsonowicz 1923; Bąbel 2014).
