Sažetak
This paper will focus on the rescue excavations carried out in past decades in the eastern parts of Croatia, especially on the territory of the Sopot culture of the Late Neolithic and the Early Eneolithic. Here will be presented an overview of the current results regarding the stone industries in the Late Neolithic, with the focus on localities in the Đakovo region, in the eastern part of the Slavonian mountains and their chronological position. On the analyzed sites, but also in the wider area of distribution, it is evident that with the Sopot culture, the total number of stone finds and types of polished stone tools is increasing and that the polished stone tools were an important factor in the material culture of the Neolithic communities. However, these studies still have a large number of unresolved questions. There is much more information about the manufacturing process, typology, and raw material selections, but the locations where the raw material was explored are still unknown. In order to better characterize mineralogical and chemical characteristics of some of the findings, that are necessary in provenance studies, a series of investigations has been initiated using optical, XRDICP –AES and ICP-MS methods of analysis.
