In the southern part of the O´swi˛ecim Basin, in the Ko´nczyce Wielkie gravel-pit, we can find outcrops of Quaternary deposits with varied geological histories. The lower fluvial sequence is covered with glacigenic sediments. The glacigenic deposits occurring below the Brunhes-Matuyama boundary and interglacial sediments are older than the Cromerian Complex. This ice-sheet advance, in its maximum extent in southern Poland, is correlated with the Günz, i.e. pre-Cromerian glaciation in Western Europe. Cultural material was located within fluvial sands with fine-grained gravels, below a layer of diamikton – interpreted as till – and underneath the boulder pavement – an equivalent of diamikton. Raw materials inventory include local flint and hornstone, foreign flint, hornstone, quartzite, opalite, gneiss granite. Among the artifacts are macrolithic and microlithic cores, flakes and tools.
