Abstract
<jats:p>In the third volume of the Litikum Books, we publish a summary of our project „Changes in the management of lithic resources from the Middle Paleolithic to the Middle Neolithic in Northern Hungary”, which started in October 2017. The initial hypothesis of our project was that the management of lithic raw material sources by prehistoric communities was influenced by natural, economic and cultural factors, and this complex interaction can best be examined in a time scale where significant climatic-environmental and economic-cultural changes took place. Our observations in Poland, Slovakia, Ukraine and Hungary have convinced us of how important it is to distinguish lithic raw material sources according to procurement, and what role geomorphological processes play in changing access.</jats:p>
