摘要：Due to the petrological features and the inferior knapping quality, quartz and quartzite were regarded as secondary lithic sources. Since the low morphological standardization of the products made of these raw materials cannot enable a simple, easy „technological reading”, for a long time the analysis of lithic tools made of quartz and quartzite was not as intensive as of others made of better quality raw materials. Furthermore, during the analyses, an attempt was generally made to generalize the technical criteria associated with different siliceous raw materials to quartz and quartzite. This phenomenon is the so-called „flint syndrome“, the use of a flint artefact typology for the analysis of quartz or quartzite assemblages without taking into consideration the raw material differences. Only in the last decades has the erroneous, inadequate aspect of this approach been realized by specialists. It is only in these recent years that specific attention has been paid to these raw materials, systematic research has begun in countries where the one or the other raw material plays a significant role in the lithic stone industries. In the research of the Hungarian Palaeolithic, the judgement of these raw materials has been always rather controversial. The primary goal of this paper is not a detailed discussion of Hungarian Palaeolithic sites, but merely to raise awareness of this problem associated with these raw materials and perhaps altering their perception. The following short overview of the archaeological sites is not exhaustive, can be regarded only as indicative.
