Primitive inhabitants of Slupsk regions led a nomadic life. They did not know metals, objects of the domestic use and weapons which they made of stone; mainly of fire stones and of organic materials: wood, horns and bones. The oldest epoch in history of the civilization is called the Stone Age. Within its framework three basic periods are distinguished: Palaeolith - the older epoch of stone, Mesolithic age - the middle epoch, and Neolithic - younger Stone Age.

The oldest traces of human stay in Middle Pomerania are dated at end of Palaeolith epoch. They are introduced on the areas of our interest by fragments of "hoe" made of the horn of reindeer (fished from the Wieprza River near Slawno), traces of camps in Smoldzino and flint-products from these two places. The oldest discovered megalithic graveyards from this period are graves of the Lupawska population group, so-called funnel-shaped cups culture dated on 5000-4900 BC. The name of the culture derives from the characteristic shape of the dish - the cup with the belly with the spherical widely opened collar as well as from cultures of string pottery (name is taken from the ornament obtained from the cord impressed in a raw clay before the burnout) 2800-2500 B.C.

The graveyard in Lupawa is the greatest kept complex of megalithic graveyards in Poland. The nation of the funnel-shaped cups culture was the oldest agrarian nation in Middle Pomerania. A basis of existence of these people was the breeding of pigs, gathering of ground cover and crop of wheat. Cemetery-megalithic structures, (so-called megaliths) in the Middle Ages were called tumuli paganorum - tombs of pagans or tumuli gigantis - tombs of giants. East German tribes which were living in Middle Pomerania in later epochs called it Hünenbetten - beds of giants. In Poland, however, in Kujawy they were called żale or żalki.

Within a period of Mesolithic the settlement was mainly concentrated along the Baltic Sea coast and in regions of larger water reservoirs. Primitive people of this epoch led, however, nomadic or sedentary life. Not before the Neolithic Age (about 3000-1600 B.C the great social-economic breakthrough of primitive communities of that time appeared. It was about the change from nomadic and a half sedentary life (based on hunting, fishery and the collecting) to the permanent colonization, based on the production economy. This breakthrough took place under the influence of the agrarian population, who arrived to Middle Pomerania (in the final period of their migration) from regions of Bohemia and Moravia. Newcomers, beyond the higher organizational forms of economic life, brought technical achievements with them: beginnings of the ceramics (figulines), the simple weaving and most advanced technically, the processing of stony tools.

The residence of those population groups differentiated culturally (division because of characteristic features of produced ceramics) on the area of contemporary Slupsk was confirmed with archaeological findings. The most numerous group of findings are labour objects (stone knives, axes, stone quern and pounders, tools from horns and antlers). The very curious finding from this period is discovered in Slupsk the amber bear's statuette, found in 1887 during extraction of the peat. The figurine had most likely a cult character, because it has a hole for threading on a string and the smoothened surface. However, it is seldom said that it was the bears’ hunter amulet (in the picture - copy of the figurine).

At the end of the epoch of Neolithic Age in Middle Pomerania copper tools were used sporadically. Brought from a far copper, as too malleable metal, didn't win, however, the competition with stone tools in regard of the resistance. Only when on Far East one learnt to harden the copper through adding of tin and obtaining as a result new melt – bronze, people began to use this metal universally to produce all tools, decorations and weapons. Bronze with relation to copper was also characterized with the lower melting temperature and better hardness. The new epoch called the Bronze Age, which lasted since 1700-650 B.C., had began in Middle Pomerania.
