the production of polished stone tools in the Neolithic. This study is based on petrographical and
mineralogical comparisons of the artefacts from the Želešice-type metabasite collected in the Neolithic
settlement (and workshop) at Brno-Holásky/Tuřany with the various rock types occurring around the
Želešice metabasite body. The determination of the most probable locations of Neolithic exploitation
within the Želešice metabasite body is given. The three main rock varieties of the artefacts from
Želešice metabasite have been specified. They match well in their petrography and mineralogy with
the rock types determined in the source region. The artefacts with pebble surfaces were most likely
obtained from the nearby Bobrava riverbed.
