The original objectives of the SGS/4/2020 project “Use of graphite in the northern part of the Moravian- Bohemian borderland in prehistory and the Middle Ages”, carried out by the Institute of Archaeology, Faculty of Philosophy and Sciences, Silesian University in Opava, and the Archaeological Department of Regional Museum Litomyšl, were restricted by the epidemic. Regarding its prehistoric part, only geomagnetical measurements were carried at the Neolithic settlement of Nedošín 11 (geomagnetical map of an area of around 5,400 sqm in the south-western part of the site) and at the Staré Město – Bílá Studně [Old Town – lonely house White Well] site (negative outcome). A total of 21 ceramic samples from 6 sites were selected from the collections of RML for micro-petrographic analysis, of which 9 samples came from the Staré Město 1 site and 7 samples from the Hradec nad Svitavou site. These are two generally synchronous (middle phase of Linear Pottery Culture) monocultural settlements that have been examined through excavation in recent years. In particular, the analyses showed a significant technological difference between the samples of ceramics from both sites. The rock used in the temper is different, while in Hradec the temper is also very often rough-grained, in contrast to Staré Město, and burnt organic (plant) additives are found in it, still completely missing in Staré Město. They also showed that we need to distinguish between two groups of graphite ceramics in the region – ceramics with the unintentional addition of graphite (mere fragments of graphite rock in the temper), which prevail in Hradec, and real or actual graphite ceramics (fine graphite pigment in the matrix, lumps of graphite in the temper), which prevail in Staré Město; however, ceramics from both groups are present in both locations. Unfortunately, it is still not possible to conclusively identify the source of graphite raw material for Staré Město 1. The assumption that it is located at the foot of Dubina Hill was supported by the discovery of a hitherto unknown outcrop at a distance of only around 500 m from the settlement. The site in Hradec certainly did not use material from Dubina; based on dislocation on the right bank of the River Svitava, we can perhaps consider sources in the vicinity of Svojanov, although their exploitation in prehistory has not yet been documented.
