The focus area is Bohemia. The main emphasis is placed on the raw materials of these artefacts, which were analysed non-destructively using optical stereomicroscopy, X-ray diffraction and magnetic susceptibility measurements. Although archaeogenetic analyses indicate that the Corded Ware Culture arrived in Bohemia as an intrusive element, the raw material spectrum demonstrates continuity with sources exploited in preceding periods. In particular, Jizera Mountains-type (Jizerské hory) metabasite is the principal material of the assemblage of 32 analysed artefacts. The other raw materials used most likely also originate within the Bohemian Massif. These results thus point to a continuity in the use of raw material sources and distribution networks.}, title={The Oldest Hammer-Axes of the Corded Ware Culture in Bohemia}, type={Text}, URL={http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/Content/248523/285420.pdf}, keywords={archaeology, Corded Ware culture, A-type hammer-axes, Archaeogenetics, Raw material sourcing, Jizera Mountains-type metabasite, Bohemia}, }
