Hostim is a key archaeological site for learning about Central European art of the Magdalenian period. It was investigated in the 1960s. Absolute chronology of the site was based on a single conventional date and the lithic typology. This text presents new radiocarbon dates that refine the dating of the site, results of stable isotope analysis and cementochronological observations. While the site has been interpreted until now as a single-event occupation, the newly acquired dates make it possible to consider repeated visits to the location. The text also discusses possibilities of seasonality study of the site. At the same time, the work raises a wide range of new questions and confirms the necessity of a revision of this site.
