The recent intensification of AMS 14C assays of bone and antler artefacts in the east and southeast

Baltic region has revealed a number of reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) antler axes, and their prevalence

in the Late Palaeolithic osseous toolkit. One of the oldest, dating from 11 221–11 048 cal

BC, was discovered in 2014 in the village of Parupė, on the left bank of the River Nemunėlis, in

northern Lithuania. Until now, no such organic implements discovered in the region in question

have been associated with any Late Palaeolithic taxonomic group, but at the location of the antler

axe at Parupė between 2015 and 2019, three concentrations of numerous lithic findings have been

identified, whose typological and technological features allow for the consideration of their possible

association with the dated axe. In this paper, we present three concentrations of lithic finds

(sites 1–3) at Parupė village, providing their technological and typological data, and their possible

chronology and taxonomy, reflecting the Late Palaeolithic and Early and Late Mesolithic. We

conclude that the moderate lithic complex from site 1 should be associated with Late Palaeolithic

technology, and can possibly be linked with the antler axe.
