| Description | The site of Mohelno-Plevovce is situated below the water line of the Mohelno water reservoir. Over the last two years we conducted surface surveys along the edges of the reservoir which yielded acollection of stoneartifacts. We discovered three areas with in situ artifacts within intact sediments. In addition, we identified3structures consisting of flat stones within area 3. During September 2013, the hydroelectric power plant underwent maintenance and for aperiod of three days the water level was at its minimum. We documented ahexagonal flat stone pavement 3 min diameter. Within the paved area the artifact density was relativelyhigh. Outside the paved area the density of finds decreases rapidly, which indicates astrong barrier-effect along the pavement boundary. The industry has been dated to terminal LGM and is characterized by steeplyretouched end scrapers and specific tiny backed microliths with the closest analogy in the North Black Sea Region. |
