V zadnjih letih so nam ponovno preučevanje starih najdb, nekaj slučajnih odkritij in nedavna izkopavanja omogočili prenovljen vpogled v najmlajše faze neolitika in eneolitika v Furlaniji. Obsežni podatki, ki so nam na voljo, nam za enkrat še ne omogočajo, da bi predstavili celovito sliko, vendar prikazujejo obsežno območje poselitve, ki ga v poznem neolitiku zaznamujejo padanski kulturni vplivi, medtem ko se v času eneolitika pojavijo značilni znaki povezav s čez alpskim in še posebej z balkanskim svetom. Ključne besede: pozni neolitik, eneolitik, naselbinska tipologija, keramika, industrija kamnitih odbitkovnih orodij, industrija glajenih orodij, kovinske najdbe, poselitev, kulturni vplivi In the last years, the re-examination of old finds, some casual discoveries and recent excavation works allowed us to update our knowledge on the latest phases of the Neolithic and Eneolithic in Friuli. The increasing data at our disposal do not allow to present an organic picture yet, but it depicts a vast occupation area characterised during the Late Neolithic by a Padan cultural influence, whilst during the Eneolithic significant signs of connections with the transalpine and especially the Balkan worlds have emerged.

During this study, about two hundred stone tools from the Bologna territory-particularly from the S. Lazzaro di Savena area-were studied. They comprise perforated axe-hammers, axes/adzes and other variously polished complete or fragmentary tools of Copper Age typology, mostly coming from surface survey. They are mostly manufactured from basic magmatic rocks (in order of abundance: diabases, dolerites, gabbros, basalts and basic porphyrites) typical of the Apennine ophiolites outcropping upstream to the local mountains/hills, as well as in several areas of the Northern Apennines. Other lithologies, such as ophiolitic ultramafics (serpentinites, steatite and one Ca-pyroxenite) and non-ophiolitic lithologies, are poorly represented. The petrographic features of the studied artefacts are compatible with those of the ophiolitic rocks outcropping in the nearby Apennines and include varying degrees of low-grade, both of continental (various green and bright amphiboles, chlorite, saussurrite etc.) and oceanic metamorphism (typically brown hornblende and rare mylonitic textures). Some basic porphyrites with large phenocrysts, uncommon in the Apennine ophiolites, are also present. The few non-ophiolitic lithologies (siliciclastic arenites, calcarenites, limestones and siliceous stones) were probably supplied from the nearby Apennine, with the exception of a spotted slate of unknown origin. Based on their morphotypological features, some ophiolitic and not-ophiolitic artefacts may suggest some exchange and importation from-or simply some prehistoric cultural links with-Tuscany, Marche and occasionally Southern Italy and South Tyrol/Alto Adige.

“…Recent papers have discussed the provenance of the metadolerite, serpentinite and metabasite shaft‐hole axes found in the Caput Adriae (north‐eastern Italy, western Slovenia and north‐western Croatia), making a contribution to the understanding of the technological and cultural changes that occurred during Neolithic and the Copper Age in this part of Europe (Bernardini et al . ). To complete the study of these artefacts, a group informally called ‘metaultramafite axes’ (Peloi 1996–7; D'Amico et al .…”

Mineralogical and Chemical Constraints on the Provenance of Copper Age Polished Stone Axes of ‘Ljubljana Type’ from Caput Adriae

In this paper we show the results of a study concerning 42 axes, mainly discovered in the Copper Age pile dwellings of Ljubljansko barje (central Slovenia) and in the neighbouring areas of Caput Adriae. The studied shaft-hole axes, characterized by homogeneous typology but slightly different raw materials, have been called 'Ljubljana-type' axes (Lt). The raw materials show a common OIB-like signature and metamorphic and spilitization features that recall oceanic conditions. The typological and geochemical characteristics and the very high percentage of Lt axes among the polished stone axe assemblages of Ljubljansko barje suggest that the raw material was probably gathered from one or more relatively small outcrops close to Ljubljansko barje. Similar igneous rock types outcrop in the presumably Palaeozoic diabase/shale complex (Eisenkappler Diabaszug), intruded by the northern Karawanken plutonic belt. A probable provenance from this area, particularly rich in copper ore deposit, would confirm the important role of Ljubljansko barje as a metallurgical district, as well as a strong relation between lithic raw materials and Cu cultivation districts during the Copper age.
