dc.abstract.enDuring the 2019-2022 fieldwork in the Hučivá diera Cave in the Slovak part of the Tatras, the settlement of the Magdalenian community was identified. The analysis of the obtained materials significantly expanded data collection on the eastern province of this culture in Central-Eastern Europe. Multiple analytical techniques have been used to describe the cultural and ecological background of that site. The discovery of the Hučivá diera Cave led to the conclusion that, at the end of the Pleistocene, during the B¨olling warming, the Magdalenian hunters adapted quickly to the changing habitat and were able to inhabit this cave and recognise the advantages of that site, which included possibilities to hunt Alpine ibex and process the skins of hunted animals. The unexpected conclusion of the stone tool analysis suggests a potential connection with Magdalenian sites from the Switzerland-Germany Danube group and the presence of elements comparable to those found in the British Islands and the Netherlands.
