KRUMLOVSKÝ LES II – EAST: RECENT EXCAVATIONS OF THE MESOLITHIC MINING AREA

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In the territory of the Czech Republic Krumlovský les represents the most important source of raw materials for the chipped industry. The extraction of Jurassic cherts peaked as late as in the Early Bronze Age and lasted into the Hallstatt Age. Hence, the extraction was discontinued as late as around 500 BC, and, since the end of the Eneolithic at the furthest, thousands of tonnes of excavated and knapped cherts made their way into the filling of the shafts and on the piles instead of being transported elsewhere. Radiocarbon date GrA-34410 supports the beginning of mining and places the hearth at the mouth of shaft I-12 between the years 8810 and 8560 BC. Remains of extraction on a much larger scale, probably from a front face of the slope, are being uncovered in the Area II. However, the upper portion of the slope and its top was entirely disturbed by quarrying during the Eneolithic and especially the Bronze Age. For the present, the expanse of the Late Mesolithic spoil heap exceeds 50 metres on the contour line and 16 metres on the slope, and in one-meter thickness it continues farther to the east. This mass-scale activity with no evident practical purpose suggests that certain social changes were also occurring in south Moravia just before the onset of the Neolithic.
