The sandstone plateaus cut by canyons with rockshelters in Luxembourg, Germany and the northern Czech Republic remain relatively unexplored archaeologically. In northern Bohemia, Czech Republic, these were mainly settled during the Mesolithic. Recent surveys have revealed a network of Mesoltihic sites representing short and long-term occupations in canyon rockshelters. One long-term (Pod zubem) and one short-term site (Pod kdlem) were selected for functional analysis of stone tools, including microscopic use-wear and residues analyses, in order to investigate the uses of different site types in terms of subsistence, economic, and seasonal activities. Results indicate that stone tools were used on a variety of materials at the long-term occupation site of Pod zubem. At Pod kdlem, where the record is more sparse, the analyses suggest that plant processing was the primary activity. Faunal, macrobotanical, and lithic functional anlayses suggests specialised use of tools and sites in the Mesolithic of Northern Bohemia
