it is suitable for traditional typological, technological, functional investigations as well as dating. The article gives a short review on these possibilities with special regard to those practised in Hungary. As a new result, the existence of two independent sub-groups within the established category "Carpathian 2" (Hungarian obsidian) is demonstrated with the help of EDS as well as main component analyses, performed in the Hungarian Geological Survey and the Institute for Applied Physics of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences respectively.

(In Hungarian) The article contains the material presented at the meeting "Industrial Archaeology and Archaeometry" in Veszprém 1982. The authors used electron-energy dispersive X-ray analysis, performed in a scanning electron microscope, according to their best knowledge for the first time, therefore they performed homogeneity tests and repeated measurements, and found the method quick, convenient and effective, causing only minor damage to the object in the course of preparation. Themost important European obsidian sources could be separated from each other by EDS thus laying a basis for routine examination of archaeological tests examinations. T.

Takács—Bíró K.: A short review on Hungarian petroarchaeology = Hlrd International Seminar on Petroarchaeology, Plovdiv (1984) pp. 31—44. The article gives a short summary on the history of Hungarian petroarchaeological research, especially on the investigation of stone tools, building materials and precious stones for jewellery. It contains an extensive bibliography.

Hydrothermal and limnic siliceous rocks and obsidian sources of the Hungarian Northern Mid-Mountains are described: OES data on 52 specimens from 23 geological sources, investigated also by thin section analyses and chemical analysis of the main components for the süicites are included.
