The most dominant raw material is the local limnic quartzite. This raw material is covered with white patina. Other local raw materials like the andésite, flint and quartzite are represented with a few pieces. The long distance raw materials like Felnémet type opal, Szeletian felsitic porphyry, Carpathian 1 obsidian and northern flint are represented with a few pieces also. Most of the tool types were made of limnic quarzite and northern flint. The Palaeolithic and younger Prehistoric stone tools collected from the surface were separated on typological basis. The bifacially worked side-scraper and limace like double side-scraper resemble the tools of the Middle Palaeolithic Micoquian site Legénd-Káldy-tanya. The nosed endscraper resemble the artifacts found on the open air settlements of the Upper Palaeolithic Aurignacian culture. The burins, side-scrapers, retouched blades and flake can belong to any general Upper Palaeolithic assemblage. The artefacts collected from the surface are not suitable for a more detailed cultural classification. The bifacial pieces could be grouped together with the Upper Palaeolithic tools. Whether they belong together or are the remains of two different industries cannot be decided according to our recent data. The Prehistoric (probably Bronze Age) stone artifacts collected from the surface reflect different types: endscraper, rabot and a flake with traces of sickle shine. Fordítás: Zandler Krisztián
