Raw material networks of the earliest farmers in Moravia

Original language description

Earliest Neolithic farmers migrated from the Carpathian Basin through present-day Southwestern Slovakia and Moravia and settled North of the Carpathians. During the earliest phase of Linear Bandkeramik Culture in Moravia, raw materials were imported from all directions, often over distances of hundreds of kilometres. There are several examples of long distance contacts Using the key Moravian site of Spytihněv as a reference point, the Kraków-Częstochova Jurassic silicite was imported from outcrops located around the current city of Kraków in Poland (ca. 180 km to the northeast in a direct line), northwest Bohemian metabasite (ca. 240 km to the Northwest), Bákony-type radiolarite from the current Balaton Lake area (ca. 230 km to the south), obsidian from Zemplín Hills in eastern Slovakia (ca. 320 km to the east, the obsidian demonstrates contacts with the region occupied by the eastern branch of the Linear Pottery Culture), and erratic flint from glacio-fluvial deposits of Northern Moravia / Southern Poland (min. 70 km to the north). This raw material spectrum documents the extended raw materials networks which connected Moravia in all cardinal directions. This is a direct contrast to the preceding Mesolithic occupation. Extended raw materiál networks indicate long distance trade, cultural connections and Exchange among individual regions as opposed to prevailing direct or embedded procurement strategies that characterized the preceding periods.
