1_ Analysis of chipped stone industry from Kopčany and Brehov (Slovakia). The fl ake stone assemblages (and other assemblages) which were discovered during the excavation of two archaeological sites in Eastern Slovakia – Zemplínske Kopčany and Brehov were analysed. Seventeen stone artefacts were found in object No. 24A-D/1974 at Zemplínske Kopčany. Obsidian stone, which is a local raw material, occurs at a higher frequency than imported raw materials – Jurassic fl int “G” and basalt. With the exception of two blanks (cores), the assemblage consists of fi nished tools, most of which were made on blades. Other tools present include two fl ake scrapers and a blunt drill made of Jurassic fl int “G”. One obsidian core is lightly reduced and the second obsidian core has a pyramidal shape. The remainder of the Zemplínske Kopčany assemblage includes ten fi nished products made of local (sedimentary rocks) and imported raw material (amphibolite?). Whetstones are most common and axes are less numerous. The assemblage also includes a wedge, a fragment of an axe-hammer, a globular pestle and conical byproducts from axe-hammer production., 2_ Local raw materials were used at Brehov. The local obsidian dominates and other stone materials are present in small proportions. The typological character of the fl ake industries is also different. Flakes account for 68 % of the artefacts and blades 25 %. Specifi c artefacts are the „łuszcznie“ (“Splitter” in German) though to have been used as chisels or cutting tools. The cores are very small and lightly reduced. One pebble with negative scars and one drill (borer) are also present. Other artefacts include a shaft of a fl at axe made of local hornstone and a fragment of an unfi nished granodiorite axe-hammer with a hole drilled in the middle (possibly originating from the High Tatras?). The analyzed assemblages are compared with assemblages from other Baden Culture sites in Slovakia and in particular to those from the Malopolskie Voivodship. The analyzed artefacts from Zemplínske Kopčany and Brehov correspond to two phases in the development of the Baden Culture. The older phase has stronger affi nities to the Funnel Beaker Culture, and in the case of the Brehov site, to a younger phase, which is parallel with the Pleszow-Zesławice group in the Malopolskie Voivodship., Marián Soják., and Obsahuje seznam literaruty
Práce vychází ze soupisu nálezů badenské a z ní vyrůstající řivnáčské kultury na území severozápadních Čech. Podává přehled stavu výzkumu, nálezové základny a přírodního prostředí sídelních regionů – dolního Poohří a Podřipska, Podkrušnohorského úvalu a středního Poohří, sleduje strukturu osídlení obou kultur a jeho datování. Badenská kultura je zde zastoupena podstatně slaběji než ve středočeských regionech, přičemž spolehlivě doložené je až osídlení z doby mladší fáze středního (klasického) stupně. Datovatelné soubory řivnáčské kultury zase všechny spadají pouze do jejího staršího stupně, což naznačuje, že tato kultura zde existovala kratší dobu než ve středních Čechách, nejspíše z důvodu příchodu kultury kulovitých amfor. Snad ze stejného důvodu zde, na rozdíl od středních Čech, nedošlo k rozvoji výšinných sídlišť. Rozdíly mezi situací v severozáp. a středních Čechách skýtají možnost sledovat na regionální úrovni proměny, k nimž zde v průběhu šesti fází středního eneolitu docházelo. and Baden and Řivnáč culture in northwest Bohemia. The work is based on a list of Baden culture finds and those from the ensuing Řivnáč culture in the territory of northwest Bohemia. It provides an overview of the status of research, the base for finds and the natural environment of the settlement regions – the lower and central Ohře River regions, Říp Hill surrounding and region under Krušné hory/Mts.: the work follows the settlement structure of both cultures and the dating of this settlement. Baden culture is represented here to a significantly weaker extent than in central Bohemian regions and settlement is not reliably documented until the later phase of the middle (classic) stage. On the other hand, the datable Řivnáč culture assemblages fall exclusively into its earlier stage, indicating that this culture existed here for a shorter period than in central Bohemia, most likely due to the arrival of the Globular Amphora culture. Perhaps this is the same reason there was no development of hillforts here as in central Bohemia. The differences between the situations in northwest and central Bohemia offer an opportunity to follow the transformations on the regional level that occurred here during the course of the six phases of the middle Eneolithic period.
