Declining flint industry - a concept formulated in Polish literature for the first time in 1987 - includes industries from the Bronze Age and later periods, separated from a clear standardisation of the Stone Age. Adopted by other researchers, it replaced the term “Early Bronze Age flint industry” when it turned out that the evidences were much later than the beginning of the Bronze Age. Significant progress observed in studies of the declining flint industry allowed to specify the flint production of such cultures as Mierzanowice and Trzciniec. An essential contribution to this subject are studies of the Lusatian Culture conducted under this aspect. For some time, finds of ceramics of the otomani Culture from the older period of the Bronze Age (also known as Otomani--Fuzesabony) are known from Polish lands, specifically from the Polish Western Carpathians. During the excavations at Czchów, a small inventory of stone implements was discovered in a pit with late otomani pottery. Among the artefacts a small flake point was recognised, characterised by saw-like retouched edges and an asymmetrically located bulb. It is easily seen that the above definition of this type is based on small series. on the other hand the repeatability of very original technical procedures and a method of retouching, justified a necessity of description of the forms. The hope can be expressed that the series of such points will rapidly increase, particularly in the case of samples coming from the original territorial range of the otomani Culture.

The issue of Central and Eastern European Micoquian, although known for over half a century, appears to be controversial and insufficiently researched. One of the areas in Central Europe known for the presence of the Micoquian are the Carpathian Mountains. The article discusses finds from their north-western part. Micoquian sites in this region are known from Slovakia (Zamarovce and possibly Plaveč site), Poland (Obłazowa Cave) and Ukraine (Korolevo, Yezoupil and Kolodijiw). All these assemblages contain Keillmesser knives. Moreover, the assemblages remain in relation to other sites in neighbouring areas, which is visible in terms of their technological approach, but is also documented by raw material transport. A reassessment of the cultural attribution of sites in the Carpathian zone appears to be of great value in understanding the problems of Keilmessergruppen.

The goal of this work is to review the present discussion and the perspectives of the Late Palaeolithic in the northern part of the Western Carpathians and in the Northern Subcarpathia region during the Allerød and the Younger Dryas oscillations. The area of Subcarpathia, especially dunes of the upper Vistula valley, has been explored many times since the second half of XX century (e.g. Kraków-Borek Fałęcki, Kraków-Kobierzyn). It brought numerous collections proving dense Late Palaeolithic settlement around Kraków. Although the Tanged Point Technocomplex (TPT) prevailed, traces of Arched Point Technocomplex were also reported. Since the 80`s, methodological researches in the northern part of The Western Carpathians have unexpectedly revealed rich remains of the Late Palaeolithic settlements. It mainly represents the APT settlement (Sromowce Niżne, Nowa Biała). The recent progress has been achieved as a result of extensive rescue excavations which brought a number of methodically acquired lithic assemblages (e.g Kraków-Kurdwanów, Kraków- -Bieżanów, Mucharz). This issue has boosted a discussion on the Late Palaeolithic settlement in the region. The discussion is focused on the techno-typological aspect of a material culture, detailed analysis of raw material procurement, usage of land and spatial arrangements of assemblages. The numerous accumulations show a variety of cultural entities including the Tarnowian, Witowian, Swiderian and Brommean cultures. The investigated area represents two main raw material provinces: the north Subcarpathia with Jurassic flint and the northern part of the Western Carpathians – where radiolarites were mainly found however other rocks were present, as well. Both cases are characterized by local production only merely enhanced with imported materials. The settlement is almost completely represented by open air sites although caves are also present (Zalas rockshelter). The extent of the assemblages varies from rich settlement units yielding several thousands of artefacts to tiny spots of about dozens of lithics. Only in case of a few archaeological sites an environmental record was acquired. It hinders a construction of a reliable chronology and therefore some comparative studies over the adjacent area are necessary. The basic reports indicate the northern part of the Western Carpathians and the Northern Subcarpathia region as “contact zone”, proving a local character of them as well as a strong affection from the part of the North European Plain.

The purpose of this paper is presentation of flint materials from the pit number 92 discovered at multicultural site 1 in Zagórzyce. During the exploration a group of five flint cores were revealed, whose layout indicates an intentional deposit. They were accompanied by few ceramic fragments and several animal bones. In spite of the fact the flint artifacts represented different stages of exploitation, they have a relatively high potential and, after the necessary remedial treatments, could still have been exploited. It seems that the group of cores can be interpreted as a deposit of a utilitarian character. Three of these were formed on the nodule of chocolate flint, the rest were made of Jurassic flint. The size of the obtained blades and the technique of core processing speak for the feature's affiliation to the Lublin- Volhynian culture. Currently, considering only the partial examination of the site 1 in Zagórzyce, making a statement as to whether the presence of the L-VC in the discussed site was only a single episode or had more stable character is sadly not feasible. The reason of separated publication of this deposit is justified since discovery of this assemblage of cores contributes greatly to the picture of flint knapping in the the L – VC.

Recently, the region of Podhale has yielded several new archaeological finds, gathered during the surface survey (difficult to carry on in that region due to the decreasing number of cultivated fields) in the area of Biały Dunajec and Czarny Dunajec rivers catchment basins. Artifacts can be linked with the period of Stone Age and Early Bronze Age. In some cases, their techno-typological profiles suggest a more precise chronology. The choice of raw material used in the described inventories is limited to flint and radiolarite (its red variation).
