This study revisits a collection of chipped stone artefacts from Mesolithic layers of Lepenski Vir (Iron Gate, Serbia). A sub-set of 909 items of a collection excavated back in the 1960s is re-examined macro- and microscopically, which showed that the raw material is predominantly represented by chert (70.7%) and quartzite (21.5%), whereas volcanic rocks (6.2%) and other rock types (1.7%) are subordinate. Artefacts made of volcanic rocks are rare but they gave us the opportunity to unravel the geological/volcanological context of the samples and to hypothesize about the source area. Among the volcanic material we distinguish two subgroups: a) pyroclastic rocks, mainly represented by devitrified welded tuffs and pieces of pyroclastic-fall and phreatomagmatic deposits, and b) coherent volcanic rocks, mostly as hypocrystalline to vitrophyric rhyolite and dacite-rhyodacite. A detailed volcanological interpretation of these artefacts, in combination with our field observations and knowledge about the regional geology, suggests, first, that this raw material derives from a complete volcanic succession, and second, that the only candidate for the source area is the Permian volcanic complex of Sirinia in Romania. If our volcanological arguments are robust, they imply that the Lepenski Vir residents had skills to cross the Danube and collect raw material at the opposite riverbank. Given the lack of direct evidence for the river crossing, this conclusion should be taken with caution. However, our study at least argues that many similar artefact collections may be worth of re-investigating and searching for possibly ‘hidden’ petrogenetic links among the rock types found as raw material.

来自Lepenski Vir(塞尔维亚)的碎石制品的高级岩相学研究:中石器时代跨多瑙河通信的证据吗?

这项研究重新考察了Lepenski Vir(塞尔维亚铁门)的中石器时代的碎石制品。从宏观和微观角度重新检查了1960年代发掘出的909个收藏品的子集,这表明原材料主要以石(70.7%)和石英岩(21.5%)为代表,而火山岩( 6.2%)和其他岩石类型(1.7%)为从属。由火山岩制成的文物很少见,但它们使我们有机会阐明样品的地质/火山学背景,并推测出源区。在火山岩材料中,我们分为两个子类:a)火山碎屑岩,主要由失透的熔凝凝灰岩和碎屑碎屑岩和岩浆岩沉积物代表; b)火山岩相干,多数为次晶质,到玻璃质流纹岩和菱镁矿-水闪石。对这些文物的详细火山学解释,再加上我们的实地观察和对区域地质的了解,首先表明,这种原材料是从完整的火山演替中获得的,其次,二叠纪是唯一的源区候选者。 Sirinia火山复合体在罗马尼亚。如果我们的火山学论据是有力的,则表明Lepenski Vir居民具有穿越多瑙河并在对面的河岸收集原材料的技能。鉴于缺乏直接的河流过境证据,应谨慎对待这一结论。然而,
