František Trampota, chercheur à l’Institut d’Archéologie et à l’Académie des Sciences de Prague (République tchèque) : " The Importance of Metabasite from the Jizera Mountains for the Emergence of the Early Neolithic in Temperate Europe "

'One of the specific artefacts associated with the emergence of the Neolithic in temperate Europe are stone adzes used for woodworking. Their primary source was located in northern Bohemia, in the Jizera Mountains, where extensive quarrying fields have been discovered. Their distribution network spanned across Central Europe and beyond. The aim of this presentation is to outline the social consequences of the quarrying, distribution, and production phenomena linked to metabasite from the Jizera Mountains. »
