| Description | Silicite (flint) axes were found in 4 graves of the Bell Beaker culture at three localities only in Eastern Bohemia. As raw materials there were used erratic silicites (2x), silicite of the Kraków - Czestochowa Jurassic (1x) and banded silicite of the Krzemionki type from central Poland (1x). We suppose the people with Bell Beakers did not produced the silicite axes but they collected them at abandoned sites of older Eneolithic cultures. |
