Summary/Abstract: Due to its landscape, dominated by hills reaching above 1000 m a.s.l., the southern part of the Western Beskids was long considered an area beyond the reach of prehistoric migrations. The small number of artefacts known from the area makes every new find significant. The article presents a stone artefact found on the Brona Pass in Beskid Żywiecki. It was made of a local raw material, quartzite sandstone. The discovery provides new evidence of the penetration of mountain landscapes by prehistoric communities.
