| Description | The raw material spectrum of lithic chipped artefacts at pre-Neolithic sites in South Bohemia is unusually various because of the local specific minerals and rocks utilization. At the first place, it is necessary to underline flaking of siliceous weathering products of serpentinites (and other metamorphic rocks) such are opal, chalcedony, plasma and siliciophites. Besides it there were used minerals of pegmatites or quartz dykes (rock crystal, rose and smoky quartz, citrine). There were chipped also local orthoquartzites of the Lipnice type, Permian acid subvolcanites, chert of the Putim type, moldavites. Among imported raw materials, the most important role played silicites (flints) from the Ortenburg Jurassic near Passau, layered silicite (Plattensilex) from Frankische Alb, silicite of glacigene sediments, orthoquartzites of the Most region etc. |
