EN ‘Chocolate’ flint was the most important raw material used by prehistoric communities from the Palaeolithic to the Late Bronze Age in the north-east margin of the Holy Cross Mountains to as far away as the Carpathian Mountains. At present we know of 26 exploitation points of this raw material, which occurs in Upper Jurassic limestone deposits and karstic clays – the highest Oxfordian limestone and Lower Kimmeridgian. Five mining sites are presented in this article in chronological order to give an overview of their four main aspects – mining methods, mining tools, dating by radiocarbon determinations, and flint working.
