26 VIOLA 'Г. DOBOSI by typological differences between the classical Moustérian and the pebble­working Tata. The grouping of proven value in the elaboration of other sites follows the type list, but we have fused the types which could have had the same functions the scrapers which are not represented in the classical lists, could be e. g. inserted to Group II, or else they embrace implements not generally (not vet or no more) -characteristic for the cultural level. The groups are as follows: I: Types 1-8 (Levalloisian blade, chip, point and their atypical variations); II: Types 2-29 (scrapers) (Figs. 6-7); III: Types 30 35 (Upper Palaeolithical tool group: side-scrapers, burins, borers (Fig. 7); IV: Types 36-43 (knives, channeled tools); V: Types 45-54 (this group can be outlined rather difficultly, namely techno­logical characteristics mav be fused with tool complexes to be separated functionally); VI: Types 55-61. Lower Palaeolithic reminiscences (Figs. 8-9); VII: others.

The application of the Levalloisian technique becomes questionable when we regard the silex pebbles as ground raw material. Group II: Vértes did not even try to group the scrapers according to Frenchs norms. In the Tata material the ground form (pebble split, sector, segment, chip) is more characteristic for an implement than the relation of its working edge to the straight or the angle of contingence of the double working edge. To the solution of the problem of the pointed scraper — Moustérian point Tata adds further data only inasmuch these small pointed —in some cases bifa­cial —implements cannot be called points. - Tata. 142- 174; Érd. 164.
