Abstract
The stone hunting points have generated substantial interest and it is often used as a fossil guide to enable the identification and characterization of complex technologies or “cultures”. However, the armatures remain poorly understood in Central Europe, despite various original types. This paper explains the key points from Unit K11 of Dolní Věstonice II (South Moravia, Czech Republic). The collection is not directly dated; however, through the typology, it is included in the Gravettian sensu lato. Despite the limited sample of 33 fragments of armatures, it is possible to identify recurrent features. These stone artifacts differ slightly from the other microliths of the Pavlovian sensu stricto, which are dated 27,500–25,500 uncal BP. The main objectives of this article are to report the presence of and describe the microlithic points and to discuss possible analogies.
