Micro - artifacts are those fragments of anthropogenic origin, which are smaller than 2,0 mm in size, so the fragments, which go through the sieve during sifting of the material at the site. They represented fragments of bones, burnt clay, fragments of charcoal and micro-flakes of flints resulting from treatment of stone tools. The obtained results were used to draw profiles and maps of their distribution within the profile and anthropogenic trench. Obtained results were used to reconstruction of human activity in the selected areas of the site.
