Tell el-Retaba is an archaeological site located in the Wadi Tumilat, 35 km west of Ismailiya in Egypt. The joint Polish-Slovak Archaeological Mission has been conducting research there since 2007. This paper reports the results of the analysis of the flint assemblages found at the site from 2010 to 2016. The excavations revealed 180 flint artefacts in stratigraphic units dated from the Second Intermediate Period to the Late Period. The flint assemblages include sickle blades, retouched flakes and blades, pounders, grinders, polishers and some other examples of implements. The flint tool forms and the contexts of their find are described and the preliminary analysis of the raw materials is conducted. The study indicates that there are some differences in the tool forms and the raw materials used for their production in particular historical periods at the site.
