State of arts: the Carpathian obsidians in the Czech Republic

Original language description

In spite of no natural obsidian occurrences in the Czech Republic, its first sporadic artefacts have been described already at some Szeletian and Aurignacian sites in Moravia (eastern part of the Czech Republic). Small but systematic presence of obsidian seems to be characteristic for big Gravettian settlements in eastern and southern Moravia and we suppose its transport in the “northern road”, it means along the Carpathian flysch belt. Obsidian tools in the Moravian Magdalenian, Late Palaeolithic and Mesolithic represent probably only accidental contacts with the area of SE Slovakia or NE Hungary. The “northern road” for transport of obsidian was used again in the period of Linear Pottery culture when obsidian tools very often occur at settlements (in Czech Silesia) rich also in the silicites from CracowCzęstochowa Jurassic. The most extensive import of obsidian to Moravia is connected with the older stage of Lengyel culture (Moravian Painted Ware I). It was transported very probably via northern Hungary or southern and western Slovakia (“southern road”) to south-western Moravia, later to the area of Brno and Eastern Bohemia. Occurrences of archaeological obsidian in Bohemia (western part of the Czech Republic) were evaluated in detail by P. Burgert (2015). Comparing Moravia, obsidian artefacts appeared there later (Late Palaeolithic/Mesolithic) and its presence in the Neolithic culminated in the late phase of Stroked Pottery culture.
