Description Mohelno-Plevovce was repeatedly occupied during the Late Upper Paleolithic. Two paved stone struc-tures constructed from local stones have been excavated thus far. These structures are characterized by a high density of lithic artifacts within the paved area and a rapidly decreasing density away from the paved area – this is interpreted as a result of the ‘barrier-effect’ of the covered area. The lithic tools are characterized by abundant splintered pieces, steeply retouched end scrapers, and tiny microlithic tools pro-duced on carenoidal blanks. Utilized raw material types indicate good knowledge of local rocks including rock crystal and weathering products of serpentinite, as well as broad raw material networks including erratic ?int imported from northern Moravia and Szentgál radiolarite imported from Balaton Lake area.
