Abstract

The Szeleta cave was the first excavated Palaeolithic site in Hungary. The artefacts were scattered along the layer sequence and very few of them were excavated in thin, discrete layers. After the general review of the available documentation and some questions of site formation, four assemblages are analysed in the present paper, all excavated in the so-called hearth levels in the entrance and the main hall of the cave. The variability of the used raw materials and the typological differences makes possible to describe several types of industries, but none of these was a typical Szeletian assemblage.
