The menilite hornstone processing site Cisna 6 was discovered in 2015 during the surface surveys carried out by Andrzej Pelisiak in the western part of High Bieszczady Mts. It is located within Solinka river Valley, near the edge of the river terrace about 4 m above the flood zone of the valley close to natural deposits of menilite hornstone in the riverbed of the Solinka river. The archaeological material was discovered on an area of about 150 m 2 . There were collected 53 natural pieces of raw material, 25 artefacts made of menilite hornstone and one artefact made of siliceous sandstone. This assemblage probably is not homogenous. There were recognized artefacts which can be dated to the Late Neolithic as well as to the Bronze Age.
