The major and trace element compositions of these objects are very helpful in determining the place of origin of the rocks. On the other hand, destruction of the complete object is usually not allowed during the analysis. In this paper we show an application of Prompt Gamma Activation Analyses (PGAA), a relatively new, non-destructive method for investigation of Neolithic stone tools. Twenty-four samples (in the form of greenschist and blueschist polished stone tools from Hungarian Neolithic collections and also greenschists and blueschist from outcrops) were investigated. The aim of this work was to establish a method for distinguishing the different types of greenschists occurring in the Carpathian Basin. PGAA gives reliable data for major and some trace elements of geochemical interest. According to our results, it is possible to distinguish blueschist from macroscopically similar greenschist polished stone tools by PGAA. Three macroscopically different types of greenschist samples form only two groups according to chemical composition, which implies only two different sources of greenschist raw material. We were able to identify one of them as rock from the outcrop of Felsocsatar (Penninic Unit of the Alps in western Hungary). The second source is not yet determined; it requires the study of samples from more outcrops. The investigation of ancient stone tools is only one example of the applicability of PGAA. The advantages of this method can also be exploited in other geochemical research areas.}, year = {2004}, eissn = {1617-4011}, pages = {285-295}, orcid-numbers = {Szakmány, György/0000-0002-9557-2030} } @inbook{MTMT:1867468, title = {Outlined petrographic results of the raw materials of polished stone tools of the Miháldy;collection, Laczkó Dezső Museum, Veszprém (Hungary)}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1867468}, author = {Szakmány, György and Füri, Judit Izabella and Szolgay, Zs}, booktitle = {Sites and stones}, unique-id = {1867468}, year = {2001}, pages = {109-118}, orcid-numbers = {Szakmány, György/0000-0002-9557-2030} } @article{MTMT:1072522, title = {Volcanic evolution and stratigraphy of the Miocene Börzsöny Mountains, Hungary: an integrated study.}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1072522}, author = {Karátson, Dávid and Márton Péterné Szalay, Emőke and Harangi, Szabolcs and Józsa, Sándor and Balogh, Kadosa and Pécskay, Zoltán and Kovácsvölgyi, S and Szakmány, György and Dulai, Alfréd}, journal-iso = {GEOL CARPATH}, journal = {GEOLOGICA CARPATHICA}, volume = {51}, unique-id = {1072522}, issn = {1335-0552}, abstract = {The Middle Miocene volcanic evolution of the Borzsony Mountains, North Hungary, is presented, correlating new volcanological, petrological, geochemical, geophysical and paleontological data and establishing a detailed stratigraphy on the basis of additional K/Ar radiometric and paleomagnetic measurements. For the earliest volcanic activity, previous biostratigraphy showing an Early Badenian age has been confirmed and precisely defined by paleomagnetic investigations. The first-stage volcanic formations (16.5-16.0 Ma), deposited in a shallow marine environment, include resedimented, syn-eruptive, garnet-bearing dacitic volcaniclastics (originating mostly from small-scale ignimbrite eruptions) and coeval, garnet-bearing dacitic lava domes, sometimes with their volcaniclastic aprons. As the eruptions filled the marine basin, subaerial dacitic-andesitic volcaniclastics, comprising minor ignimbrites and different types of debris-flow deposits were also deposited. A part of the latter may have been related to the formation of two or three medium-sized calderas. The second stage (16.0-14.5 Ma) was characterized by andesitic lava dome activity terminated by a hydrothermal event. During the first half of this stage, a ca. 30 degrees CCW rotation occurred. The third stage produced the most voluminous, moderately explosive, andesitic - basaltic andesitic High Borzsony subaerial lava dome complex erupting up to the Badenian/Sarmatian boundary (ca. 13.7 Ma). Correlation of K/Ar geochronological and volcanological data shows that lava dome activity of the second and third stage may have been coeval with marine sedimentation in the southern Borzsony.}, year = {2000}, eissn = {1336-8052}, pages = {325-343}, orcid-numbers = {Karátson, Dávid/0000-0003-0386-1239; Márton Péterné Szalay, Emőke/0000-0002-2135-8867; Harangi, Szabolcs/0000-0003-2372-4581; Józsa, Sándor/0000-0001-8219-0044; Szakmány, György/0000-0002-9557-2030} } @misc{MTMT:1307618, title = {Petrographical studies of polished stone tools of the Miháldy-collection, Laczkó Dezső Museum, Veszprém (Hungary)}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1307618}, author = {Szakmány, György and Füri, Judit Izabella and Szolgay, Zs and Horváth, T}, unique-id = {1307618}, year = {2000}, pages = {9-11}, orcid-numbers = {Szakmány, György/0000-0002-9557-2030} } @article{MTMT:1303034, title = {Current state of research on Hungarian Neolithic polished stone artefacts}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1303034}, author = {T.
