Description The paper gives an overview of identification possibilities of source limestones used for lime burning in the Breclav-Pohansko archaeological site. Limestones from four sites were examined: Skalica, Holic, Hlohovec, and the Palava Hill. The chemical compositions of limestones were compared to compositions of mortars and underburned limestones extracted from mortars. Hlohovec was excluded as a source site based on the results.
