The discovery of a very distinct and rather isolated group of the Middle to Early Upper Palaeolithic sites around the Svitava River to the north of Brno has been made very late. This study focuses on the new collections assembled by Petr Gadas and comprising all groups of artefacts. The Horky Hill above Bořitov was the site of one of the biggest centers of the Middle Palaeolithic Micoquian. Despite the presence of one of the Cretaceous spongolite (i.e., the most numerous raw material) outcrops directly on the hillside this was not a workshop site; the quantity of retouched tools even outnumbers the contents of all the Middle Palaeolithic levels in the Kůlna Cave altogether. Both sites fundamentally differ in a much stronger representation of prismatic cores, blades, and characteristic Upper Palaeolithic types at Bořitov V; the dominant hill certainly draw attention even after the demise of the Micoquian. However, the degree of patination is identical in all types of cores and tools. A part of progressive elements in the sphere of technology (blades and blade cores) and typology (end scrapers, often with pronounced side retouch) can occur even in the late phase of the Micoquian, perhaps the main period of occupation of the site.
