Abstract

The paper aims to present the polished tools from the Early Bronze Age regarding their type characteristics and find contexts. The importance of the continuity and discontinuity and the questions about the intrusions on the turn of the Eneolithic period and the Early Bronze Age will be discussed.

The finds of the stone axes from the Eneolithic period prevail in the find context from the Early Bronze Age in the region of South Bohemia. Other types of the polished stone tools have been observed only rarely or not at all.

It is possible to presume on the basis of analyses of the polished stone tools that the continuity from the Eneolithic period (intrusions?) prevails in Bohemia and only a small amount of new artifact types emerges. The situation is slightly different in the space of the neighboring Central European countries.
