Summary/Abstract: The palaeolithic site Tata dated to the oxygen isotopic stage 5 is famous for its very strange lithic assemblage, most of which are smaller than 30 mm. Other OIS 5 sites in Central Europe have yielded microlithic assemblages which are not always related to the specific raw material conditions. The technological analysis of the cores provides new patterns about the technological choice for flaking, which seems to belong to a specific tradition.This hypothesis could be confirmed by the comparative studies of several Middle European microlithic assemblages from OIS 11 to 4–3.
