The article is dedicated to the good memory of Ladislav ‘Laci’ Bánesz (1932 – 2000), who always wanted to see really connected Palaeolithic records of Eastern Slovakia and the Ukrainian Transcarpathia. In the article a group of Berehove and Muzhievo surface find spots situated near in situ Proto-Aurignacian Berehove I site in Transcarpathia (Ukraine) is discussed. The conducted study allow us to take a new look at these loci and their UP lithics. Instead of the before viewed as a group of Middle Aurignacian real sites, the considering actually Proto-Aurignacian loci are now understood as representing a series of various supply chain loci with raw material outcrops, workshops, a site-workshop, and special camps for now Berehove I base camp. All these functionally varying loci and the site situated at raw material outcrops at Berehove Volcanic Shallow Mountain Area do represent a logistic settlement pattern. Accordingly, it is the first case for European Proto-Aurignacian when a complex settlement pattern with a base camp and sites-satellites is recognized for a closely located cluster of loci. Now recognized Proto-Aurignacian site of Tibava in Eastern Slovakia most probably also belongs to Berehove and Muzhievo ProtoAurignacian site complex.
