ABoth already known and newly found Palaeolithic sites in the Trencin microregion were appreciated. Stratigraphy has showed that eroded slopes were covered with the youngest loess OSL-dated to 16 700 ± 600 BP, which filled also ice wedges and fissures of the older loess layer or the Bt horizon of interglacial earth (eem) underneath. The oldest settlement belongs to the Middle Palaeolithic Micoquian (Trencianska Turna and Zamarovce) and Mousterian (Mnichova Lehota-Straze and Mnichova Lehota-Biele hliny). Leaf point cultures of the terminal Middle and incipient Late Palaeolithic occurred at the sites of Trencianska Turna I and II, Trencianska Turna-Hamre and Trencianske Stankovce I. Chronology of the Moravany-Dlha leaf points from the site of Novy Kolacin has been still questionable. The Aurignacian has been probably proved at the sites of Trencin IV and Ivanovce-Skala. In the Late Gravettian- in the shouldered point horizon - the largest settlement was at the sites of Trencianske Stankovce I-VI, Trencianska Turna I-IV, Trencianska Turna-Hamre, Mnichova Lehota I, Trencianske Bohuslavice and Zamarovce. The Epigravettian was found at Trencianska Turna-Hamre and Mnichova Lehota-Straze.
