The findings of the Middle Palaeolithic artefacts have appeared in Bohemia since the first half of the 20th century. The last list of sites comes from the early 1980s. Since then, new sites have appeared on the one hand and older material can be revised on the other. For the older phase of the Middle Paleolithic are typical industries of the evoleved acheulean (complex of sites in the vicinity of Bečov, Stříbro) accompanied by simpler acheulean-derived cobble industries (part of Mlazice assemblage, Sedlec, Letky). The interglacial phases of the older and the start of Younger Middle Paleolithic are characterized by the mousteroid industries of the Levallois character (Bečov, Lobkovice) and the small-form industries (Radim, Mlazice, Ládví, Tmaň). In the younger (Wurmian) phase of the Middle Paleolithic, we encounter both the mousteroid industries (Jislova Cave) and the isolated findings of the Micoquien character (Slaný, Tmaň, Bolehošť, Jilemnice). The settlement of the caves of the Bohemian Karst is problematic. At a large part of the assemblages we can see considerable contamination with Upper Paleolithic artifacts.
