Abstract:Paper discuss a new-discovered Hamburgian site located in the northern part of the Polish Lowland. A detailed technological and typological analysis of flint materials as well as stratigraphic and palaoenvironmental context of the settlement are presented. Exceptional geomorphological and stratigraphic position of the site - location at a dune in the close vicinity of the glacial trough, filled with biogenic sediments of the Bølling times - creates a unique possibility of a relatively complete reconstruction of the Early Late Glacial environment during the times of human occupation and a real chance of recovering artefacts made wood, bone and antler. Location of the Mirkowice site far north of the maximal extent of the last glacier is another argument in the discussion on spatial distribution of the Hamburgian settlement and generally supports a thesis of fast expansion of the Hamburgian to the north
