LGM and LG site Mohelno – Plevovce: Current state of the art

Original language description

A salvage archaeological excavation of the Mohelno-Plevovce site continued during the maintenance break at the Dalešice Hydro Power Plant in the summer of 2022 and 2023. Two main aims of those field seasons were excavation of Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) stone structure F (KSF) and completing excavation of Late Glacial (LG) artifact concentration AC2. The southernmost and the lowest stone structure KSF was completely excavated. At the southeastern part of the trench, the artefact-bearing horizon was damaged by later occupation. Stone Structure F was not asncontinuous, and the Paleolithic layer did not show as high density of artefacts as was the case with the stone structures excavated in previous years (KSA, KSB, KSD, and KSE). The LGM occupation consists of 5 paved stone structure that are almost equally spaced. An attempt was also made to test artifact density in the so far unexcavated area between KSD and KSE. The previously excavated AC2 lithic cluster was significantly expanded and a different type of a possible dwelling structure (compared to stone structures) was documented – a dense concentration of artifacts, nburnt bones, and small gravels partially delimited with large stones along its perimeter. Prevailing tool type is burins and burin spalls. None of the other chronologically or culturally distinctive tools were recovered. The preliminary dates of burnt bones indicate a minimum age around 14-15 ky cal BP. Another important discovery are refittings connecting lithic clusters AC1 and AC2.nThe salvage excavation, analyses and publishing will continue in the following years.
