“…Budapest-Csillaghegy (Gábori-Csánk 1986), dated to 15.9 ka BP (Sümegi et al 1998;Lengyel 2008Lengyel -2009), seems to be a human occupation of the deglaciation period, however, it does not have Late Epigravettian armature. Sites outside hungary, Targowisko 10 (Wilczyński 2009), Sowin 7 lower layer (Wiśniewski et al 2012(Wiśniewski et al , 2017 and Brno-Štýřice III (Nerudová, Neruda 2014) were dated to ca. 15 ka BP.…”

“…The lithic assemblage of this site exploited solely local raw material sources available right at the location of the site. Brno-Štýřice III lithic assemblage consists of regional and TC material in almost equal share (Nerudová, Neruda 2014). Targowisko 10 used local materials the most (56.9%), then regional sources, and obsidian accounts for 3%, which is the greatest portion of Carpathian basin material ever in the Palaeolithic archaeological record of Poland (Wilczyński 2009).…”

A b s t r a c t. This paper presents lithic technology studies on the Middle and Late period of the Upper Palaeolithic in hungary between 26 and 13 ka BP. The studies aimed at describing and then comparing the technological processes from lithic raw material procurement to the formal tool making. An attempt was made to find correlations between technological features and chronological positions of the assemblages to see if lithic technology operated traditionally or opportunistically. The study found that technology was rather shaped toward efficiency with an adaptive behavior. Therefore, in most cases, the way how tools were made is useless to differentiate archaeological cultures, while the tools themselves, especially the armatures, can be markers of cultures as was shown earlier. This study found that the formation of the archaeological record and its variability most likely depended upon the dynamism of human ecology.

“…The Brno‐Štýřice III site (Valoch ; Nerudová and Neruda ; Nerudová ), along with Stránská skála IV (Svoboda ) and Mohelno‐Plevovce (Škrdla et al . ), is one of the few stratified assemblages in Moravia with a complex of finds dating to the end of the Upper Palaeolithic (LUP), which has been associated with the Epigravettian or possibly the Epiaurignacian.…”

This paper compares the quantification of different raw materials in a chipped stone assemblage by weight and by number at the site of Brno‐Štýřice III in Moravia, Czech Republic. The use of the same reduction technology for all raw materials means that the Brno‐Štýřice III assemblage is a good case study. The result demonstrates that semi‐local raw material tends to dominate numerically, but in terms of weight, there is a significant change in the predominant raw material. The paper contextualizes the results in relation to other assemblages and discusses the possible reasons for this phenomenon.

The first radiocarbon date was obtained from a charred bone of reindeer (Valoch, 1980(Valoch, , 1996, the next dating (performed by A Verpoorte in 2001 from the same sample; see Nerudová and Neruda, 2014: Table 4), yielded a date very similar to the previous one (Verpoorte, 2004).

Records of occupation by humans in the period following shortly after the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM; 21 ± 2 kyr cal. BP) are still very rare in Central Europe, since it is inferred that the extreme climatic conditions caused the decolonisation of previously settled areas. Our study focuses on the reconstruction of environmental conditions in the surroundings of the open-air Palaeolithic site, Brno-Štýřice III, which falls within this period. The research concentrated on the study of malacological, pollen and anthracological samples to reconstruct the climate shortly after the LGM. 14 C dating places the chronostratigraphic position of the site more precisely at the end of the LGM, more specifically into Last Glacial Termination (LGT); analysis of chipped stone industry identifies the occupation with the Epigravettian settlement. The site represents a significant example of the recurrent habitation of a microclimatically favourable microregion near a watercourse in order to utilise available sources of livelihood. The results of the pollen, anthracological and malacological analyses documented a more or less treeless character of surrounding landscape. The vegetation was mostly formed by a mixture of shrub tundra and grassy loess steppe vegetation. Open woodland with birch, willow and bird cherry occurred in relatively moist river banks and the lower slopes of hills with more favourable microclimatic conditions. Malacological collection highlights the presence of cool temperate species (Pupilla loessica, Vallonia excentrica and Helicopsis striata). In the surroundings of the studied site, the pollen analysis provided a reconstruction of parkland forest-steppe vegetation (with lack of temperate deciduous trees) typical for a cold and dry climate. Development of both dry and moist stands near the watercourse was recorded. Anthracological analysis is in support of similar outcomes, reconstructing the presence of open woodland with dominating birch and willow in the nearby surroundings.
