EN The paper presents stones slabs made of red sandstone recorded at the Mirkowice site related with the Hamburgian settlement. The similar artefacts are known from different Hamburgian sites, such as Oldeholtwolde and Olbrachcice. The paper presents a set of six stone slabs and discusses their potential function. The morphology of stones is very similar in all sites, as well as process of their production – splitting into thin flat slabs outside the camps. The hypothetical function of stone artefacts is varied. At Oldeholtwolde site, the basic area of use was the preparation of food. Stone slabs were used as “table stones” or element of fireplace. In Olbrachcice, on the other hand, stone artefacts should be associated with economic activities conducted inside or close to the dwelling structure. The spatial distribution indicates that slabs from Mirkowice are related with peripheral area of encampment, outside the main activity area, close to the knapping spot.
