Abstract:The Moravian Proto-Únětice culture, chronologically linked with the final stage of the Eneolithic, is a forerunner of the Bronze Epoch. It is known mainly from grave sites, 19 of them supplied 169 stone artifacts. They are predominantly made of rocks from deposits located in southern Moravia, within a settlement zone of the culture in question, or in its close vicinity. Bifacial points made of flint from glacio-fluvial sediments, imported probably from distant regions (Pomerania, Mecklemburg?), are exceptional in this respect. Examination of stone artifacts of the Moravian Proto-Unětice culture confirms that they reflect a phenomenon referred often as a „Technology and Tool Revolution". This „Revolution", triggered by the Bell Beaker culture, is in Moravia antecedent to the northern part of the Carpathian Zone, where it was described first
