In one of the skeleton graves of the Trzciniec culture in Gabultów, in the loess upland in southern Poland, a thick backed knife made of the tiny-grain sandstone, most probably of the Carpathians provenience was found. Some similar forms, known from the Trzciniec context, are named 'para-backed segments' or 'knife-like tools'. The closest analogies, made also of the non-flint raw material, represent the macrolithic tool found some years ago in Jakuszowice, not far from Gabultów. Among stone implements of the Otomani-Füzesabony culture backed knife and other forms with bimarginally retouching are also well documented. The sandstone artifact from Gabultów can be significant for the discussion about the role of southern influences visible in the Trzciniec culture.

In September 2005 during rescue excavation at the site 9 in Swinna Poreba on the border of the Middle and Small Beskidy Mts. in the northern part of the West Carpathians in Poland an object with Neolithic pottery was discovered. Technological similarity of all fragments, ornaments as well as other feature permitted to prove that all fragments belong to one vessel. No other relics were found in the object. Neither any material that could be dated by the radiocarbon method were found there. A slightly diagonal irregular roughness of the outer and inner surface of the vessel is an element that point explicitly at the Baden culture. The fact of discovering only one vessel, so as it was in the case of grave finds of the Baden culture in Lesser Poland (Zeslawice), as well as a good state of the preserved pottery speaks for a grave find. Probably a group of seasonally acting members operate on the territory of the Beskidy Mts. This might have been a pastoral group, one member of which died somewhere far from whole year base settlements situated from the northern side in Lesser Poland and Zips and Liptov in Slovakia from the southern.

The site No. 6 in Ujazd, distr. Jaslo is situated on a narrow and flat, secondary, sub-parallel ridge with a nose protruding towards the Wisloka River valley. In summer 2005 archaeological excavations took place there. The discovered inventory, . Upper Palaeolithic in the character, is not large. Most of artefacts were found in the secondary position. Two pieces only (flakes) were recognised as finds in the loess-like sediments, which could be identified as a rest of cultural level. However, importance of this discovery cannot be ignored. In the whole Polish Carpathians the Upper Palaeolithic sites are extremely rare. According to the TL dating, the Ujazd site could be situated in the settlement horizon direct after LGM represented by Epigravettian sites at Cosautsi, layer V and IV, and Molodova V, layer 14. This assemblage confirm from the one side some elements typical for the Danube Epigravettian, and some implements more characteristic for the Molodova culture from the other.

Existing state of research on the Late Palaeolithic in Spis is not satisfactory. Majority of sites were explored by reconnaissance only. International archaeological excavations in 2005 was realised at the site of Stara Lubovna at Pod Stokom I position, north-eastern part of Spis, over the river Poprad right-bank terrace. The site geological substratum is the Inner Carpathian Palaeogene, on which Quarterian terrace of the river Poprad has been preserved. The area of 5 x 10 m was explored at the site with considerable accumulation of chipped stone artefacts. Typology of the chipped stone industry from the reconnaissance and the control trench allows to separate several 'technological components' - Neolithic, Swiderian, Magdalenian, Epigravettian(?) and Middle Palaeolithic ones. A pseudo-Levalloisian point is the Middle Palaeolithic artefact. Several massive blades and a blade core with flat platform are Epigravettian. A point with flat retouch on its tang, that is characteristic for the Swiderian culture, is a distinct form of typology. Explicit contacts with the Magdalenian culture, with analogies mainly on the territories of Poland, Moravia and Switzerland, are in the group of typical cores and implements. Macrolithic forms of burins and some types of borers are characteristic. Connections to the closest workshop of the Magdalenian culture for working of radiolarite raw material at the site Sromowce-Wyzne Katy 1 and Sromowce-Wyzne 8 are relevant. As far as the used raw materials are concerned, red Pieniny radiolarite predominates followed by manganese, green and flysh Jaslo radiolarites; other less frequent raw materials are Bircza flint, Cretaceous, Volhynian and Jurassic flints, rarely obsidian and limnoquartzite. Raw material composition of artifacts from the territory of present-day Poland can indicate the settlement that originally lived at the Carpathians northern side. The raw material spectrum is colourful, what is characteristic for 'Carpathian provenience of chipped artifacts'. The entire inventory was subjected to the refittings method. Majority of the chipped stone industry from Stara Lubovna belongs to the Magdalenian technocomplex. Presence of the Magdalenian culture at Spis has been for the first time indicated by older finds from Haligovce-Aksamitka but they have no support in significant finds. Proving of the settlement of the Magdalenian culture bearers in northern Slovakia has changed the extend of this culture at its entire space.
