A relatively small number of Lower and Middle Palaeolithic open-air sites have been registered in southeast Europe. There are only two regions where sites from this period have been systematically surveyed, and where they have been encountered in considerable numbers: the valley of the Pineios river in Greece and northern Bosnia. Not a single site with significant concentration of finds has been found in Serbia and isolated artifacts ascribed to the Middle Palaeolithic were found at few sites. All this has changed dramatically in recent years when a large number of sites with finds from the Lower and Middle Palaeolithic have been recorded in the zone from Čačak to Kraljevo in the West Morava valley. The site surveying in the area has opened an entirely new perspective in the investigation of the Palaeolithic in this part of the Balkans.
