| Description | An elogated disc-shaped mace head made of serpentinised peridotite was found during a surface survey carried out in 2021 in "Pod Újezdem" field (Česká cadastral area, Brno-Country District). The find is a polished artefact, most probably with a symbolic meaning of power and dates to the period of the Linear Pottery culture. Locality of the find is situated on prehistorical route, so-called Trstěnická route. Probably it belogs to a polycultural settlements archaeologically studied in yr. 1983 ca 50 m eastwards. This fragmented disc was mineralogically studied in detail. The study proved the disc is not made of western Moravia serpentince localities, but from yet unknown distant deposit. |
