The Duvensee group was widespread in Schleswig-Holstein, Mecklenburg and parts of Brandenburg.

The oldest arches found so far in Germany come from this culture ( Friesack (Havelland district, Brandenburg)). Next there were bony spearheads in High Viecheln (nordwestmecklenburg) in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and in Friesack. Around 800 such spearheads were found at each of these two sites.

The oldest surviving bird arrow with a thickened, pointed head end was found near Tribsees ( district of Vorpommern-Rügen ) in Vorpommern . Very large, up to 15 cm long fishhooks made from the bones of large mammals and deer antlers were also found, as well as fish traps made from long, woven whips and fragments of nets. In a grave found in 1846 and assigned to the Duvensee Group near Plau am See , a deer antler ax was found as a grave gift.
