Systematic field surveys documented a 13.9-hectare open-air Middle Palaeolithic locality with a predominantly limnosilicite assemblage. The lithics are technologically homogeneous and characterised mainly by Mousterian notched tools and side-scraper types with a non-significant sub-laminar component. Elements of the Upper Palaeolithic and Later Prehistoric periods are very scarce or absent. An exhausted recurrent centripetal core indicates the limited presence of the Levallois concept within a flake-based Mousterian industry. Variation in patination and rolling suggests multiple occupation episodes. These results position Felső-Eresztvény as one of the most extensive and informative Middle Palaeolithic surface assemblages in the Gyöngyöspata Basin.https://www.litikum.hu/project/a0045/
