AB  - Metabasic rocks, particularly greenschists, were very popular 
raw
materials for making polished stone tools by prehistoric man in 
the
Carpathian Basin. 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.

AB  - 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.
