Archaeometrical results related to Neolithic contact metabasite stone implements from Northeast Hungary
Etched in Stone
The origin and authenticity of artifacts unearthed outside controlled archaeological excavations pose challenges for archaeologists, especially when they do not fit established patterns in the archaeological record. This article presents a detailed analysis of a stone stela discovered in non-professional circumstances on the Great Hungarian Plain. The stela’s engraved design, previously unknown in the regional archaeological record, closely resem…
Preliminary investigations on the chipped stone industry of the Copper Age settlement of Malnaş Băi (Málnásfürdő)-Füvenyestető (Covasna County, Romania)
The chipped stone collection unearthed during the 2014-2016 archaeological excavations from the Copper Age settlement at Malnaş Băi was analysed from a multidisciplinary perspective. The aims were to differentiate between the processing technologies of the local rocks and of the long-distance raw materials and to assess the technological traditions that characterise their production. The elemental composition of a selected sample set of the artef…
Non-destructive investigation of two perforated stone axes from the Bronze Age Carpathian Basin (Maklár, NE Hungary)
Non-destructive analytical methods were efficient to identify stone raw materials at Maklár. • This article shed light on network between Burgenland, Moravia and the Great Hungarian Plain. • Different raw materials were used to make polished stone axes with shaft-hole. • Stone remain an important raw material during the Bronze Age and must be investigated. Polished stone axes were used in the Bronze Age Carpathian Basin, but their number decrease…
Provenance, technology and possible function of Gáta–Wieselburg vessels from the Trieste Karst (northeastern Italy)
A few scattered vessels, typologically attributed to the Gáta–Wieselburg culture, are known from the Friuli Venezia Giulia region in northeastern Italy. This culture spread during the Early Bronze Age (Reinecke Br A1b and A2, 2100–1700/1600 bc ) in present‐day eastern Austria, western Hungary and southwestern Slovakia. Rare ceramic artefacts, typically biconical double‐handled jugs with well‐burnished surfaces, have been discovered in caves of th…
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…

A Unique Megalithic find from the Great Hungarian Plain
Large, complex megalithic monuments erected in great numbers on the Atlantic coast and in northern Europe during the 4th‒2nd millennia BC have never been found in Hungary, and the architectural forms and decorative arts of passage and chamber tombs, dolmens, stone circles, and menhirs have not been linked to the archaeological heritage of the Carpathian Basin. This is what renders a stone stele, with engravings evoking some megaliths in western E…
Egy különleges megalitikus lelet az Alföldről
Magyarország területéről eddig nem kerültek elő olyan, a megalitikus kultúrkörhöz tartozó, nagy méretű, összetett struktúrájú, kőből készült építmények, amelyeket nagy számban emeltek az Atlanti-óceán partvidékén és Észak-Európában a Kr. e. 4‒2. évezredben. A folyosós és kamrás sírok, dolmenek, kőkörök és magányosan álló sztélék világának építészeti és díszítőművészete a Kárpát-medence régészeti örökségéhez eddig nem volt köthető. Ezért is különl…
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…

Obsidian in the Early Neolithic of the Upper Vistula basin
The inflow of the Carpathian obsidian into the areas on the northern side of the Carpathians and the Sudetes is confirmed as early as in the Palaeolithic. However, its greatest intensity occurred in the Early Neolithic, i. e. in the late 6 th and in the first half of 5 th millennia BC. During that period, the phenomenon was closely related with the development of the Danubian cultural groups in the upper Vistula river basin, including especially …

Application of prompt gamma activation analysis to provenance study of the Korean obsidian artefacts
Years old Egyptian iron beads made from hammered meteoritic iron
The earliest known iron artefacts are nine small beads securely dated to circa 3200 BC, from two burials in Gerzeh, northern Egypt. We show that these beads were made from meteoritic iron, and shaped by careful hammering the metal into thin sheets before rolling them into tubes. The study demonstrates the ability of neutron and X-ray methods to determine the nature of the material even after complete corrosion of the iron metal. The iron beads we…
Szeletian felsitic porphyry
Szeletian felsitic porphyry is one of the most famous raw materials used in the Hungarian Palae olithic. 1 It was identified, under various names, by students of the Palaeolithic material of the Bükk region in the earliest petroarchaeological descriptions.Due to its high silica content and homogeneity it was erroneously identified as hornstone, 2 later as ash-grey chalcedony, 3 even in petrographical descriptions based on thin sections. 4 Interes…

The Use of Neutron Analysis Techniques for Detecting The Concentration And Distribution of Chloride Ions in Archaeological Iron
Chloride ( C l) ions diffuse into iron objects during burial and drive corrosion after excavation. Located under corrosion layers, C l is inaccessible to many analytical techniques. Neutron analysis offers non‐destructive avenues for determining C l content and distribution in objects. A pilot study used prompt gamma activation analysis ( PGAA ) and prompt gamma activation imaging ( PGAI ) to analyse the bulk concentration and longitudinal distri…
