Abstract

Florian Klimscha’s book contains 12 chapters. After the introduction, with basic details about the site of Magurǎ Gorgana in Pietrele and the research of stone adzes and axes so far, a chapter follows which deals with the exploration level and research frameworks (Forschungsstand und Grenzen der Untersuchung), with a detailed representation of natural and historical conditions prevailing during the Eneolithic in the Eastern Balkans. The author also gives an overview of the research of adzes, from the 19th century up to today, in Europe, and especially in its South-Eastern part.
