Description:

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. The pebbles, flakes and microlithic-flakes were base for making the tools., Eugeniusz Foltyn ... [et al.]., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
