Pits and other associated features found at sites along Hornád Valley of Eastern Slovakia have been put forth as examples of early settlement features associated with the early Upper Palaeolithic in Europe. To verify this, we radiocarbon dated charcoal samples from pits found at Košice-Barca I and Košice-Barca II that were recovered during the 1951 – 1954 excavations of F. Prošek. From the Košice-Barca I site, charcoals from Pit 1 with an associated Mesolithic industry were dated. The measured age of 8536 – 8389 cal BP corresponded to the presumed age of the lithic industry assigned to the Atlantic period. From the Košice-Barca II site, charcoal samples from three parts of Palaeolithic Pit 7 (complex II), in which the Bronze Age cremation graves of the Piliny culture were embedded, were dated. The dating results yielded ages for the graves of the Piliny culture (3450 – 3354 cal BP). A charcoal from Pit 7 was additionally dated to the Mesolithic (8600 – 8449 cal BP) and part to the Late Iron Age (2295 – 2000 cal BP). The charcoal from Pit 10 was dated to the Late Palaeolithic 11 465 ±45 BP. There is no evidence for occupation of Košice-Barca II in the periods mentioned above. We conclude that the early Upper Palaeolithic nature of these features is unverified and that the charcoals embedded within them stem from either later occupations or environmental fires.
