The Želeč I stratified site (Želeč na Hané cadastral area, Prostějov District), located in the area of the Ondratice sand mine, has been systematically surveyed since 2009 (Mlejnek et al. 2016). In 2022, the research of this Early Paleolithic site was financially supported by the Visegrad Fund, enabling the continuation of investigation in the Zel_4a trench (Fig. 27). An additional area of 9 m2 was excavated, and the sediment was sampled for paleobotanical (charcoal and phytolith) and geoarchaeological (geochemical and micromorphological) analyses, as well as for radiocarbon and OSL dating. All these samples were analysed in 2023 and the final results will be published in 2024. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
