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

Chipped stone industry from Hôrka-Ondrej, area A represents the youngest phase in development of the Middle Palaeolithic. An uninterrupted continuation of the development of the industry in travertine mounds from the last interglacial into the Old Wurm was documented besides Hôrka-Ondrej also in Gánovce and Bojnice. A genetic connection of the industries from the last interglacial with those from the Old Wurm of the Spis region was evident in their raw material and typological composition, and in the production technology. Quartz was the dominant material complemented by chert. Common types of Middle Palaeolithic artefacts, with a dominance of side-scrapers, were repeated in the inventories. Denticulate and notched flakes did not reach more distinct proportions, Mousterian points were present in Gánovce

32 and in Hôrka-Ondrej, and flat retouch was documented already on side-scrapers from Gánovce.

33 A radiolarite blade was found in layer 3 in Gánovce, and in layers 1 and 4 blade-shaped flakes.

34 The chipped stone industry corresponds to finds from the Mousterien of the Old Wurm, The closest to Slovak travertine localities were finds from Bojnice I Prepostská cave, belonging to the final stage of W i.

35 Approximately the same age and the same typological composition are industries from the open settlement localities in Prievidza,

36 and from Ziarska basin in Central Slovakia. In Eastern Slovakia there were finds from the middle part of the valley of Topla, Torysa, and Ondava rivers. Other analogies to the Mousterian industry from Hôrka-Ondrej were found at the Hungarian localities Tata

37 and Erd

38 dated to the interstadial Brörup. A similar industry comes from caves Raj

39 and from layer XIII in Obtazowa

40 in Poland.
