Bácskay Erzsébet–T. Bíró Katalin: Summary

relatively great number of implements made of these pieces of nuclei. As a result of this the tools are bulky with a multi-faceted cross section. Intentional breaking occurs also; - the frequent occurrence of steep and even introflexed distal shaping on several tool types; - partly in connection with the cutting up of nuclei there are relatively few typical blades and endscrapers made on long, narrow blades; - the most frequent implements are scrapers; - „Halsbohrer" type and long, shouldered borers are present; - the occurrence of very carefully made special saws unkown so far from the Hungarian Neolithic; - the saws, a large-sized, high, steeply retouched angular scraper together with some long, narrow, carefully made blades form a group of tools of „younger character" within the whole material; This material was compared to the old material from Mórágy-Tűzkődomb being in the Hungarian National Museum under the No 7/1937, to that from the same locality excavated recently by I. Gaál till 1982, to the implements excavated by N. Kalicz from Aszód between 1968-1980, to those found by M. Károlyi and N. Kalicz at Sé and to those found by M. Csányi and P. Raczky at the Felszabadulás street in Veszprém. The material from Zengővárkony and Villánykövesd known for us only from papers were also involved. A common character of these materials except that of Sé is the use of pieces of nuclei, the relatively frequent occurrence of steep distal shaping and of obliquely truncated pieces, however, in a different proportion and also the great number of scrapers. Borers are present at every locality although they are different from each other and are sometimes atypical; „Halsbohrer" type appears only at Lengyel. None of the above-mentioned localities yielded the special saws which are so conspicuous at Lengyel. They contain long, narrow blades only in a very small quantity. On the other hand „macrolithic" scrapers and a characteristic sickle type with high gloss along the two edges of the blade known from both Mórágy and Aszód, are missing, in the Lengyel material. Thus the implements discussed here have more than one common characteristics with the chipped stone tools of other localities of the Lengyel culture, however, at the same time show significant differences, e.g. the occurrence of „Halsbohrer" type borer and special saws. The overwhelming majority of polished stone implements consists of axes. Two polished stone „mace-heads" and 8 roughly shaped spheroids are also present. Raw materiel and technology of the chipped stone artefacts. The chipped artefacts coming from Wosinsky's excavations were grouped according to raw material types. Destructive material testing of the implements were avoided, microscopic thin section examination and other methods of material testing were performed on the paralel Mórágy site lithic assemblage, where abundant quantity of flake and unworked raw material pieces were easily available from the same raw material type. When evaluating our impressions on the raw material supply of the site, we must bear in mind that we cannot give an account of the whole material, but a 57
