The '''Szeleta Culture''' is a transitional [[archaeological culture]] between the [[Middle paleolithic]] and the [[Upper Palaeolithic]], found in [[Austria]], [[Moravia]], northern [[Hungary]], and southern [[Poland]].<ref>Adams B., 1998: The Middle to Upper Paleolithic Transition in Central Europe: The Record from the Bükk Mountain Region. ''BAR International Series'' 693, Oxford. 175 pp.</ref> It is dated 41,000 to 37,000 years before the present ([[Before present|BP]]), and is named after the Szeleta cave in the [[Bükk|Bükk Mountains]], part of the [[North Hungarian Mountains]].
It was preceded by the [[Bohunician]] (48,000–40,000 [[Before present|BP]]), and is roughly contemporary with the [[Aurignacian]] (40.000–31.000 [[Before present|BP]]) in France, and the Uluzzian (45,000–37,000 [[Before present|BP]]) in Italy.
==Neanderthals or modern humans==
It has been called the most original and also the most aboriginal Upper Palaeolithic culture in Central Europe. <ref>Oliva, Martin. "The Szeletian in Czechoslovakia." Antiquity 65, no. 247 (1991): 318-325.</ref> The findings are often interpreted in terms of the contemporaneity of Neandertal and modern man, "as the product of acculturation at the boundary of Middle and Upper Paleolithic."<ref>Allsworth-Jones, Philip, 2004. The Szeletian revisited. ''Anthropologie'' (1962-), 42(3), page 292. </ref> However, the absence of human remains makes it impossible to attribute the culture to Neandertal or modern humans.
==Lithic industry==
The [[lithic industry]] is characterized by:
* leafpoint bifacially worked tools
* Prismatic and discoid [[debitage]]
* Presence of [[Micoquien]] [[Hand axe|hand axes]]
