Summary/Abstract: Archaeological research in Koło Basin has a long, over 90 years, history. During that time dozen of late Palaeo-lithic sites were discovered. Most of them are linked with Tanged point Complex which is also called Sviderian Culture. From other periods of the Late Weichselian there are just signals of possible presence of settlement of Hambugian Culture and Federmessergruppe or Arch Back Pieces. Combination of interdisciplinary palaeoecological research at the Koźmin Las site and archaeological query helped with more accurate dating and locating of the Palaeolithic camps in the geomorfological landscape. Cooperation of geography and archaeology also gives chance for future discovery of unknown late Palaeolithic sites from that area.
