Katalin Bíró Palaeolithic finds from the Mátra Mountains Abstract Up to our days the territory of the Mátra Mountains was regarded a „white spot" in the research of the Hungarian Palaeolithic. Scattered finds from Ivád, Ape and a hunting or butchering find from Mátraderecske compiled all of our knowledge on the most ancient remains of human inhabitance. In course of petroarchaeological field survey of the Hungarian Geological Institute some new sites have been spotted. From the collection of Gy. Varga a Bockstein-type knife-scraper, leading artefact of the „Blattschaber - Blattspitzen Komplex", identified lately among the Hungarian Palaeolithic finds came to light, that might be considered the oldest implement from this site, territory, and perhaps related to the Mátraderecske find. Another site, seemingly the richest known material from here was located at Mátraháza, SW from the Sombokor-Mountain. Here natural occurence of limnic opalate and opal breccia was exploited and debris of fabrication can be found on the surface, consisting of flakes, cores and finished — half finished implements on the base of which the age of this workshop — site can be estimated. Typically containing burins, scrapers with very steep retouch, the assemblage seems to be related to the earliest Upper Palaeolithic sites, among the Hungarian sites it resembles to the material of Parassa I—II. 11
