Description Our experiments with a cylindrical bone drill correspond well with all phases in hole making known from original artifacts. While researching the resistance of materials to drilling, the uniqueness of Jizerské hory metabasite was repeatedly confirmed though there are big differences between its variant. There is a great difference in workability of materials from the period of Aeneolithic in Moravia. This could possibly be explained by cultural change of demand in the later period, where the target was to gain well defined shapes from interesting materials.
