N2  - In the transition from the Middle to the Upper Palaeolithic, the autochtonous cultural units – the Szeletian
on both sides of the western Carpathians and the Jerzmanowician north of the Continental Divide – are opposed to the
allochtonous units such as the Bohunician and the Aurignacian. This paper concentrates mostly on the question of the
origins of the Szeletian, rooted in the Micoquian of the Carpathian basin. We have attempted to document a more complex
process of the Micoquian – Szeletian transformation and propose a hypothesis that claims polymorphous origins of the
Szeletian. The links between the different variants of the Szeletian are documented by the circulation of lithic raw materials
between the Carpathian basin and the territories north of the Carpathians and the Sudetes.
