| Description | Archaeological excavation in Kolín-Šťáralka near a ford across the Labe river revealed besides other also an important Neolithic settlement from the period of the Stroked Pottery culture. Contacts especially to the southeast were proved both by pottery and raw material of chipped artefacts. Despite the dominant erratic flint there were ascertained on the following places cherts from the Krumlovský les Highland in Moravia, silicites from the Kraków-Czestochowa Jurassic in south Poland, radiolarites from the West Carpathians (Slovakia). Other raw materials are present in lesser amounts. Such material variabilty, so far unseen in Bohemia, points to a great importance of the settlement and the Labe waterway. |
