Rock Sources of Ground Stone Tools of the Chalcolithic Period in Cyprus

Correct rock terminology applicable to Cyprus is defined and probable rock sources exploited in the Chalcolithic period are outlined. Igneous rocks for axes, adzes, and other tools demanding a hard rock include diabase, basalt, pyroxene andesite, microgabbro, and gabbro. Sedimentary rocks for rubbin...

520 |a Correct rock terminology applicable to Cyprus is defined and probable rock sources exploited in the Chalcolithic period are outlined. Igneous rocks for axes, adzes, and other tools demanding a hard rock include diabase, basalt, pyroxene andesite, microgabbro, and gabbro. Sedimentary rocks for rubbing stones, querns, rubbers, pestles, and pounders include varieties of limestone, chalk, and sandstone. Lemba and Mosphilia most likely drew on local beaches and riverbeds, especially the Potima beach and the Mavrokolymbos riverbed. Kalavassos-Ayious and Pamboules had a rich potential rock source in the Vasilikos riverbed, and Erimi could have drawn on the Kouris riverbed. The choice of rock differed according to availability-bowls, rubbers, and querns in the Lemba area are of sedimentary rocks; in the highland zone to the north diabase and gabbro were used at sites such as Trimithousa. That site and Phasli are noted for the occurrence of a quartzitic sandstone for a specific type of grinder-pounder.
