The raw material of neolithic adzes and axes in central Europe: petrography and provenance
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2015
Abstract
The homogeneity of settlement across the löss lands of central Europe, and the speed with which an agricultural economy was adopted, are among the more remarkable features of the neolithic colonization of temperate Europe. Now petrographic evidence indicates long-distance transport of stone across that huge area, and confirms that this early pattern comes to an abrupt halt at the transition to the later Neolithic.
