NEOLITHIC ECLOGITE HAMMER FROM THE NITRIANSKY HRADOK (WESTERN SLOVAKIA)

Year, pages: 1996, 367 - 370

A fragment of Neolithic hammer made from eclogite has been found among artefacts from the archeological site of Nitriansky Hradok. Although there are several possible occurrences of primary source (eastern rim of the Bohemian Massif, the Eastern Alps) of the raw material under discussion we prefer the river Danube gravels deposited eastward of the Alps as the probable source of raw material of the hammer studied.
