The banded silicite of the Krzemionka type and dotted silicite of the Swieciechów type were intensively used for making axes during the Eneolithic Period. The presence of artifacts of the banded silicite of the Krzemionka type was confirmed in ten Moravian localities. On the basis of morphological and technical characteristics, as well as analogies, axes of the banded silicite should be linked with the Globular Amphora Culture (GAC). The GAC settlements, recognized in northern and central Moravia and in the adjacent part of Upper (Czech) Silesia, prove that contacts between these two units in question were stronger than so far believed. Axes of the spotted silicite, verified by petrographic analysis of finds from Lhotka, Nezamyslice, and Velehrad can be safely assign to the Corded Ware culture. Although rare, they clearly show the route of cultural contacts between Central Poland and Lower Austria. Axes made of the banded and spotted silicites confirm the importance of Moravia within the Central European zone of cultural development. During the Late Eneolithic Period this teritory abnsorbed influences from the south and from the north, Import of artifacts from Central Poland exemplifies this phenomenon

Archaeological rescue excavation, carried out on the planned route of the M7 motorway on the track as well the junction near the village of Balatonoszod, confirmed that the strategic and economic advantages of the nearby lake made the southern shore of the Lake Balaton extremely attractive for settlers from the Prehistoric Period till the Late Medieval Period. At the Balatonoszod site an extented settlement-part of the Late Copper Age Baden Culture was excavated. The researched area covered c. 100 000 square meters on the western part of the stream-bed. The eastern part of the settlement was documented through field walking which yielded a number of features. It was shown that the settlement was divided by the stream which could separate the profanic and sacred, the younger and the older parts of the settlement or the village and the cemetery. On the top of the hill three very similarly structured buildings were excavated side by side and another one in the western direction and their function raise new debates. In addition the three ritual pits were found, filled with more layers of abundant animal- and human skeleton-finds as well as pottery. Human bones were also discovered without animal remains, sometimes one-by-one, but usually in groups. The above-mentioned settlement of the Baden Culture shows 'unusual' criteria from various perspectives. Since no direct parallels are known it cannot be decided whether an unique, specialized settlement was uncovered or a rare, but by chance everyday example of a settlement-type inside the great complex of the Baden Culture has been found.
