Description Překlad anotace Lithic chipped materials of the Moravian Bell Beaker culture are presented in aspects of raw material, technology and typology. The analysis indicates that lithic evidences replicate more general transformation trends observed in the whole Bell Beaker world. It has been taken as a starting point for considerations on the so-called migratory reflux or the reversed current (German: Rückstrom) which refers to the western Bell Beakers diffusion in later stages of their development. In the first step the process encompassed the Moravian-Czech borderland and eastern Bohemia. From there the Bell Beaker people penetrated the region of Lower Silesia (Poland) but that expansion ended in the cul-de-sac. More successful was the route along the Labe (Elbe) River. It is marked by a distribution of Bell Beaker sites, especially in the vicinity of Prague. According to the authors it is the reflection of the migratory reflux which originated in the Moravian Bell Beaker milieu.
