Un scénario chronologique court est proposé pour la séquence du Paléolithique moyen à Piekary IIa. La production laminaire ancienne est accompagnée de technologies du Paléolithique moyen et est suivie d’un Aurignacien (complexe avec aire de débitage et traces de la plus ancienne production artistique d’Europe centrale). Le site de Ksiecia Jozefa, récemment découvert, a livré une séquence avec trois occupations : 1) une production d’éclats non-Levallois in situ autour de foyers (nombreux remontages et silex brûlés) ; 2) des technologies laminaires de type Paléolithique supérieur ; 3) un site éphémère de caractéristiques du Paléolithique moyen et du Paléolithique supérieur. Ces sites de plein air (Piekary II et Ksiecia Jozefa) sont situés sur les terrasses fossiles du Vistulien ancien et du Riss récent de la Vistule et sont recouverts de loess récent. Les niveaux culturels se trouvent dans la partie supérieure de la séquence alluviale et dans le loess. New investigations in the region of Cracow yielded numerous data dealing with genesis, stratigraphy of sediments, absolute chronology, technological patterns and human behaviour during Middle-to-Upper Palaeolithic transition. A short chronological scenario is proposed for Middle Palaeolithic sequence in Piekary II site. The early blade production is accompanied by Middle Palaeolithic technologies and it is followed by Aurignacian (complex with debitage area and evidence of the older artistic production in Central Europe). The newly discovered Ksiecia Jozefa site shows a sequence of three occupations : 1) an in situ « non-Levallois » flake production around fireplaces (numerous refittings and burnt flints) ; 2) blade technologies of Upper Palaeolithic type ; 3) ephemeral site with Middle and Upper Palaeolithic features. These open-air sites (Piekary II and Ksiecia Jozefa) are located on Late Riss and Early Vistulian fossil terraces of the Vistula river, covered by young loess. The cultural levels occurred in the upper part of the alluvial sequence and in loess.

Mogoșanu presented the results of his earlier investigations on the Paleolithic in the Romanian Banat. The Upper Paleolithic of this area was viewed as a chronologically late manifestation of the Central European Krems-Dufour type Aurignacian. After a long break in research, new investigations in the settlements at Coșava, Româneşti-Dumbrăviţa and Tincova have been undertaken, leading to an improved knowledge of the regional Upper Paleolithic. The present contribution reports the first results of the comparative techno-typological and attribute analysis of the lithic assemblages at Tincova, Coșava and Româneşti-Dumbrăviţa, involving both old and recently excavated collections. Strengthening the conclusions reached by the lithic studies, the first chronometric assessments (TL and OSL) for the recently excavated open-air site of Româneşti-Dumbrăviţa I place the Aurignacian of this site into an early stage of this technocomplex. However, the attempt for incorporating the regional record into the European Early Upper Paleolithic context remains difficult and raises serious issues regarding the acknowledged divisions of the European Aurignacian and, consequently, the expansion of this cultural phenomenon across Europe.
