TWO JADEITITE MADE LENGYEL CULTURE AXES FROM GOLIANOVO, WESTERN SLOVAKIA

Among several ten types of stone raw materials used in the Neolithic/Aeneolithic and found as stone implements on the territory of the Slovak Republic, only one axe made from the jadeitite has been described (Hovorka et al. 1998) in the past. In this paper we present description of the raw material, in order of the 2nd and 3rd broken pieces of the jadeitite made axes found within the identified rondel (Kuzma, Tirpák 2001) located 2 km to the SE of Golianovo village on surface by an amateur-collector. Golianovo is located 7 kms to the SE of the city Nitra (western Slovakia). For the identification of raw material phases of two discussed fragments we used thin sections optical microscopy as well as diffraction and microprobe studies.
