Abstract
The systematic field surveys in the area of the Cserhát Mountains and the Galga Valley had begun after the excavations of the year 1992. The primary target was to localize new Palaeolithic sites; the secondary one was to find new possible raw material sources. The first results regarding the raw material sources were published in a paper dealing with the utilization of nummulitic chert in the Middle Palaeolithic (Markó & Kázmér 2004). This paper was followed by a detailed review of András Markó in the Hungarian language on the limnic quartzite occurrences in the Cserhát Mountains (Markó 2005). In the last one and a half-decade, primarily from point of some non-flint raw materials, such as andesite, nummulitic chert, petrified wood, quartzite and siliceous pebble, several new results have been achieved. In the following summary, besides the geological occurrences, the archaeological utilization of these raw materials will be discussed as well. The results cannot be regarded as complete, neither concerning Nógrád County, nor Pest County. Implicitly the field surveys could not have been extended those parts of the Cserhát Mountains, which are either wooded or agriculturally not cultivated. The approximate size of the studied area is 1,200 km2.
