Lithic technology of Mujina pećina

Mujina pećina, located in Dalmatia, Croatia, is the only systematically excavated and well- dated Middle Palaeolithic cave site in coastal Croatia. The stratigraphic sequence covers the period between 45 and 39 uncalibrated years ka and consists of layers B, C, D1 and D2, from which the lithic artifacts have already been analyzed technologically, and E1 and E2, whose technological analysis is underway and is going to be presented along with the results of the technological analysis of the material from the upper layers of the cave. Even though the presence of the characteristic Middle Palaeolithic Levallois method in the lithic material from layer B is uncertain, it has been identified in the lithic material from the D1 and D2 layers and is again detected in the lower, E layers of the cave site. The results of the layer E technological analysis also suggest the cave site functioned as a workshop.
