Key raw materials for Neolithic shoe-last celts and axes in Central Europe: their sources and distribution
Original language description
Since the beginning of the Neolithic the amphibole-rich metabasites started to be used for polished shoe-last adzes, shoe-last axes and flat axes in prevalent part of Central Europe. These raw materials were key tool stones for cultures with the Linear Pottery, Stroke-ornamented Pottery and the older stage of Lengyel culture (Moravian Painted Ware I). The metabasites were quarried in a few source areas in Central Europe with the most important in the Jizerské hory Mountains (northern Bohemia). It was established a large distribution net testifying for a relatively stable situation in almost whole Central Europe suitable for the exchange of raw material. From petrographic point of view the amphibole-rich metabasites represent rocks that underwent aftera regional metamorphosis also the thermal metamorphosis at the contact with large Variscan or Cadomian granite plutons.
