The site of Mohelno-Plevovce is situated below the water line of the Mohelno reservoir (lower part of the Dalešice pumped-storage hydroelectric power plant). During a short term excavation in September 2013, we documented a hexagonal flat stone pavement 3.0 m in diameter. Within the paved area the artifact density was relatively high. Outside the paved area the density of finds decreased rapidly, which indicates a strong barrier-effect along the pavement boundary. The industry has been dated to terminal LGM and is characterized by steeply retouched end scrapers and distinct tiny backed microliths with the closest analogy in the North Black Sea Region.
