Lubomíra Kaminská: The Middle Palaeolithic settlements at the Skalka moundat Horka-Ondrej near Poprad (Slovakia)

Only 16 indistinct artefacts were obtained during the research in 1992. There were 10 flakes in layer A, a quartz grain, and miniature pebbles of quartz, limestone, and sandstone. The flakes —5 quartz pieces —were very small, size e.g. 14 x 9 x 4 mm. The quartz flake which had its dorsal side covered by the original surface of the peb­ble, was larger, 37 x 22 x 8 mm, and 34 x 22 x 10 mm (Fig. 3, 3.), and a flake retouched on the right side, 38 x 36 x 16 mm. There were two radiolarite flakes in layer C2, one of them had a smooth plarform (Fig. 3,1.). One quartz flake was in layer D (Fig. 3, 6.), the other two were in layer VII, and one of them had a partially preserved original surface. Another small quartz flake was obtained during the cleaning of the profile (Fig. 3, 2.). This indistinct industry, composed basically of small flakes, is not sufficient for a precise cultural determination. The chipped industry, published by L. Bánesz, 11 was disproportionately richer and more distinct. A different composition of the industry as the one originally described 12 is in Tables 1 to 3, 13 therefore we combine both above mentioned tables: Type Name Amount 1. Levallois flake 3 2.
