ATTILA PÉNTEK TOPOGRAPHY OF THE PALAEOLITHIC SITES WITH LEAF-SHAPED TOOLSIN THE CSERHÁT MOUNTAINS AND IN THE IPOLY VALLEY This short paper study was inspired by the papers of V. T. Dobosi dealing chiefly with the settlement strategy of the Upper Palaeolithic Gravettian culture. In the last decades in the Cserhát Mountains and in the Ipoly Valley extensive field surveys have been carried out. First of all, we have to emphasize the pioneer role of Pál Patay and of the couple Gábori and recently of Krisztián Zandler (Dornyay Béla Museum, Salgótarján) in the Ipoly Valley. In the area of the Cserhát Mountains, beside the author, András Markó (Hungarian National Museum, Budapest) and Sándor Béres should be mentioned. According to the field surveys, the Palaeolithic occupation in the territory in question was very intensive. Numerous Palaeolithic sites were localized from the Middle Palaeolithic to the Late Upper Palaeolithic, and at the time beeing, from a Palaeolithic point of view this territory is probably the best investigated area in Hungary. This fact has a very essential consequence, namely, in connection with several phenomena which are present in the discussed territory, but seems to lack in other regions or microregions, it can not be decided unambiguously whether there are actually cultural, traditional, behavioural or other differences compared with those regions or maybe there is only an investigational hiatus in those regions. It is time now to analyse and publish the gathered informations. The primary target of this paper is not to try to answer the complex questions regarding site-formation factors or settlement patterns, but merely raise awareness to these sometimes neglected problems. In the fore-part of the study we touch upon the relevant questions concerning the classification of the Palaeolithic sites, their territorial situation and inter-site spatial relations. At the end, the open-air sites of certain Palaeolithic cultures will be shortly reviewed. The present paper deals with the sites of the Middle Palaeolithic Micoquian- Bábonyian, the archaic Vanyarc-type industry and the Szeletian culture, that is, with the sites of the industries with leaf-shaped tools. 265
