Raw material of chipped stones :

Flint

Radiolarite

Hydro- and limnic quarzite

Obsidian

Identification of raw material:

Macroscopically

Archaeometrical: chemical analysis

2010., 2011. field surveys

Two important Neolithic tell

Szakálháti and Tiszai cultures

Pottery and stone material (chipped and

polished)

Focused on chipped stones

Hárskút

SZ-14 archaeological sample

B7, B8, B12 geological samples from Szentgál and Hárskút

Petrography not success

The element- or the phase analysis

RAMAN spectroscopy

XRD (X-ray Diffraction)

WDXRF (Wavelength Dispersive X-ray

Fluorescence)

Archaeological samples searched

Database building

Literarily search about the prehistoric

mines and the same archaeometrical

research

Archaeological artefacts interpretation

Measuring with XRD and WDXRF

Survey in Banat

All investigation on that geological

samples

Identify the provenience of the flint raw

materials from geochemical print or fossil

remains

Create a database

Raw material of the archaeological

artefacts will be identify from this database
