In Petényi Cave there is a rise of temperature at Pleistocene-Holocene boundary, likewise in the lowermost layers of Rejtek I. Rock Shelter. According to the data of Rejtek I. Rock Shelter there was a fluctuation of temperature in Bajót Phase and from Bajót—Kőrös boundary onwards a considerable decrease in temperature can be observed. In Bükk, Kőhát and Alföld Phases the temperature diagram of the caves shows almost the same values. There was a rise of temperature in Kőhát Phase (Fig. 5). Holocene research has still several unsolved problems therefore it would be premature to seek for connections with Holocene temperature fluctuations of other territories. That is why only values resulted by the "vole-thermometer" method are published here. 10 Fig. 5.

Rock Shelter.
