Abstract

In this contribution the polished stone artefacts from the Neolithic settlement at Şoimuş - La Avicola (Ferma 2), Hunedoara County are analysed. These items belong to Turdaş facies and were discovered during rescue excavations on the A1 Motorway route in 2011. The items are analysed from the point of view of their typology, technology and context, but also their dimensions and the possible sources of raw materials being taken into consideration. A wide range of raw materials for making stone tools at Şoimuş was used, which proves the amazing adaptability of the Turdaş communities to the local environment.
