N2  - Metabasites were absolutely prevalent raw materials for polished stone tools connected with the Linear
Pottery culture (Linearbandkeramik, LBK) in Central Europe. Besides the key source of amphibole-rich metabasites
in the Jizerské hory Mts. we already know a few other natural outcrops with their prehistoric using in the Bohemian
Massif and some other can be supposed. In the article we have compared LBK polished tools from two different areas
in the Czech Republic: the Bohemian-Moravian borderlands and Upper Odra River basin. In spite of natural occurrences
of metabasites near the both areas, all studied polished tools have been made of the amphibole-rich metabasites from
Jizerské hory Mts. It accentuates importance of the unique Neolithic mining field in the Jizerské hory Mts.
