The Krápníková Cave (in the Hostim u Berouna cadastral area) is located high above the Berounka Valley in the Bohemian Karst. On a small plateau in front of its narrow entrance, the remains of an Upper Palaeolithic settlement were excavated in the 1940s. In the loess layer above the bedrock, the previously published remains of a hearth were uncovered, alongside less certain traces of other sunken features. The article presents an analysis of the chipped stone industry made from various imported and regional raw materials (mostly silicites), with a predominance of erratic silicites and including long-distance imports (radiolarites). Among the 86 pieces, there is a high proportion of tools (10.5%), laterally retouched and backed bladelets, endscrapers, and burins; however, the settlement was likely of episodic nature. Based on the techno-typological characteristics, the industry belongs to the Magdalenian. Radiocarbon dating was unsuccessful
