Archaeometrical results related to Neolithic contact metabasite stone implements from Northeast Hungary
Whitestone’—A Specific Polished Stone Tool Raw Material in the Late Neolithic of Southern Hungary
‘Whitestone’ is a characteristic raw material in the Late Neolithic (Tisza and Lengyel culture) polished stone tool (chisel, adze, macehead) archaeological record in Southern Hungary. However, the lithology—the technical term not reflecting a petrographic definition—needs detailed petrographic-analytical investigations (by optical microscopy, PGAA, and SEM-EDS) to determine the exact rock types and to connect them to specific geological sources. …
Provenance analysis of red sandstone ground stone tools from the tell site of Hódmezővásárhely-Gorzsa (SE Hungary)
Hódmezővásárhely-Gorzsa is a multi-period tell settlement in South Hungary in the centre of the Great Hungarian Plain, about 15 km southwest of the city of Hódmezővásárhely. The thickest section of the settlement belongs to the Late Neolithic Tisza Culture period. In total, 1061 macrolithic artefacts were unearthed, a quarter of which was polished, and three quarter of which were ground stone tools. Half of the ground stones were made of differen…
Integrated petrographic and geochemical analysis of the Langobard age pottery of Szólád, Western Hungary
This study presents the results of the petrographic and geochemical analyses of the entire pottery assemblage discovered at the sixth-century (AD) cemetery of Szólád, Western Hungary, associated with the Langobard era in the territory of the former Roman province of Pannonia. Szólád is one of the most prominent archaeological sites of this period, where prior studies have shown that the cemetery was used for ca. one or two generations by a migrat…
The first greenstone axe in Hungary
Topoarele din rocă (de obicei metamorfică) de culoare verde erau considerate foarte valoroase în preistorie. Li se atașa un prestigiu special, iar rocile veneau de la mari distanțe. Cunoașterea rețelei de distribuție a celui mai popular tip de rocă de culoare verde – jadeitul – a luat amploare recent prin proiectul JADE 2 organizat de P. Pétrequin (Pétrequin et alii 2017). În Ungaria, astfel de artefacte au fost identificate și descrise prima dat…
Knapping before and after polishing
The authors present the evidence gathered during the interdisciplinary study of several polished stone tools from some Neolithic sites in Hungary. In particular, the cutting-edged tool production (axes, adzes, chisels) involves knapping at several stages of the operational-chain within an artefact’s ‘life cycle’ - from raw material procurement, its manufacture, use, and discard. Some specific fine-grained and non-siliceous raw materials, among wh…

Archaeometrical results related to Neolithic amphibolite stone implements from Northeast Hungary
Petrographic contribution to the origin of Early Avar Age ‘Csákberény group’ ceramics
The ‘Csákberény group’ represents a small but stylistically and compositionally distinct group of ceramics types limited to the north-eastern part of the former Roman province of Pannonia, dating between the last third of the 6th and the first quarter of the 7th century CE. This artefact horizon is known for reflecting foreign impacts in the region, especially late antique traditions. Due to their small quantity and limited geographical distribut…
Provenance and production technology of late medieval 'Besztercebánya/Banská Bystrica-type' high-quality stove tiles
A unique collection of high-quality late medieval (fifteenth-sixteenth century) glazed and unglazed stove tiles from the northern part of the Carpathian Basin is of great interest to archaeologists and art historians. It is yet to be determined if these products, which are characterised by similar features, were produced in a single workshop, perhaps in Besztercebánya/Banská Bystrica (in present-day Slovakia), or in several workshops throughout t…
Petrological Analysis of Late Neolithic Ceramics from the Tell Settlement of Gorzsa (South-East Hungary)
Technology is usually defined as the processes and practices associated with production and consumption, from design to discard; hence, pottery use is a part of complex social interactions that constitute technological systems. The functional analysis comprises several different lines of investigation. This chapter is focused on the intended function of the Early (Starcevo) and Late Neolithic (Vinca) pottery. By examining formal properties (fabri…
Petrographic and XRD analysis of the ceramic body of late medieval besztercebánya/banská bystrica-type stove tiles
A unique collection of high-quality late Medieval (15-16th century) glazed stove tiles from the northern part of the Carpathian Basin is of great interest to archaeologists and art historians. Tiles of identical style, motifs and sizes were found in twenty-eight different localities. It is yet to be determined whether these products were made in a single workshop, perhaps in Besztercebánya/Banská Bystrica (in present-day Slovakia) or in multiple …
Amphorae as indicators of trade and diet in Cibalae (Pannonia)
Cibalae (Vinkovci, Croatia) was a significant Roman town in Pannonia. It had an economic and a strategic importance. The aim of this research was to analyse the amphorae that were found in the settlement using archaeological methods and petrography in order to suggest possible production sites, get a better knowledge of the settlement’s economy, exploit the amphorae’s historical aspects and study the population’s diet and level of Romanization. S…

New archaeometrical results related to Neolithic blueschist stone tools from Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County, Hungary
Contribution to the cognizance of raw materials and raw material regions of the Transcarpathian Palaeolithic
On the territory Transcarpathian Ukraine, about 100 Palaeolithic localities are known up to our days. Most of them are surface finds. In spite of the rich archaeological heritage, the elaboration of the material, especially its petroarchaeological evaluation supported by professional scientific analytical methods, is in the initial phase as yet. The aim of the present study is to supply information on the lithic raw materials of the Palaeolithic …
Descrizione petrografica di ceramiche comuni di età romana da San Potito in base a sezioni sottili
Twenty Roman Age home-made sherds from Central Italian San Potito locality were studied by petrographic microscopic method. The ceramics were divided into five petrographic groups on the basis of their composition and structural-textural features. Two groups of the ceramics were tempered with clasts of alkaline volcanic origin, which seem to originate from Central-Italian volcanic territory components. The ceramics belonging to the other three gr…
