Description of the Project of Mr. Petr Sida

“The Use of Stone-Raw Material in the Neolithic. Workshop Areas in the Upper Jizera-River Region”

In his impressive work, Petr Sida is dealing with the topic of neolithic use of stone raw materials in the upper Jiszera Region. His work is based on a complex qualitative and quantitative assessment of large collections and current excavations in the concerned area. For the first time we get a vivid picture of the neolithic stone use in an area of the Czech Republic. It is most remarkable for its information about the social existence of those `Stone-Age-humans´.
