TY - GEN N1 - ill. ; 24 cm N2 - The archaeological site at Klementowice has been known since the early 80s of the 20th century. In 2007, excavations were resumed there and a new, previously unknown concentration of artifacts was discovered. New data from several thousands of flint artifacts and the first discovery of faunal remains indicate a long-term and multi-season hunting camp. The site is the most north-easterly settlement of the Magdalenian technocomplex in the whole of Europe. The favorable geographical position of the site in the Late Glacial is very apparent at the macro-regional scale. The site is located at the boundary between contrasting mega-regions (highlands/lowlands) of differing environmental conditions, and where there are micro-regional contrasts as well (specific local conditions). Analysis of the site location took account of its background geology, land relief and hydrology. The dynamic of these elements and their influence on microclimatic conditions and plant cover is considered. The area of the site, located on a slope, is currently in agricultural use. This has caused surface erosion – with the original Late Glacial depressions becoming filled by soil material redeposited from the neighboring denuded convex landforms. The original and very varied topographic surface has been reconstructed on the basis of the degree of conservation of the soil profiles. Part of soil profiles was truncated or almost completely eroded, but the other profiles were buried M3 - Text J2 - Archaeologia Polona Vol. 49 (2011-2013) PY - 2013 EP - 119 KW - Late Glacial KW - Magdalenian settlement KW - palaeoenvironmental reconstructions KW - Landform analysis KW - Lublin Upland A1 - Rodzik, Jan A1 - Mroczek, Przemysław A1 - Wiśniewski, Tadeusz A1 - Zagórski, Piotr PB - Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology Polish Academy of Sciences VL - 49 CY - Warszawa SP - 105 T1 - The palaeogeographical conditions of location of a Magdalenian camp at Klementowice (Nałęczów Plateau, E Poland) UR - http://www.rcin.org.pl/dlibra/publication/edition/61750 ER -
