The Corded Ware Culture Сircle burial Drozdy 12 (Upper Neman region)
Drozdy 12 is a multicultural settlement in the Upper Neman basin region (Western Belarus), where a ground burial of the Corded Ware Culture circle dating back to the 3rd millennium BC was discovered. This work presents the results of studying the technological and functional characteristics of flint artifacts that were part of the burial inventory, based on macro- and microscopic analysis of traces of manufacture and use. The studied collection i…
Middle Paleolithic bone industry in Central Asia, first evidence from Obi-Rakhmat Grotto (Uzbekistan)
To the Definition of Technological Contexts Completeness of in Stone Industry from Cultural Layer 3 of Late Paleolithic Site Strelka-1 in Krasnoyarsk (On the Example of Side Scrapers)
Purpose. The Strelka-1 site is located in the historical center of Krasnoyarsk where the Kacha River flows into the Yenisei River. Cultural layer 3 of the site dates back to the Upper Paleolithic period and contains numerous items made of stone and organic materials - fragments of animal bones, wood, and bone ashes. Based on the evidential interpretation of one of the categories of stone implements (side scrapers), the authors assume that some of…
Unique Ivory Artifact from The Upper Palaeolithic Site Strelka-1 (Krasnoyarsk)
Archaeological site Strelka-1 is situated in the historical part of Krasnoyarsk at the confluence of the Yenisey and Kacha rivers. The richest Upper Palaeolithic layer 3 is confined to the south-eastern part of the promontory. The layer contains numerous stone tools and waste products, animal bone fragments, bone and antler tools, remains of fires. Worthy of special attention is a small group of mammoth ivory artifacts, including a massive ivory …

The First Cranial Trepanation Find in a Meotian Burial Ground (Starokorsunskiy Settlement No. 2, Krasnodar Region)
A young woman’s skeleton dating back to the Meotian archaeological culture was studied during the investigation of the paleoanthropological series of the burial ground of the Starokorsunsky settlement No. 2. The burial ground is located in the Krasnodar Territory and is dated to the 4th century BC – 2nd century AD, while the burial under discussion dates back to the 2nd century BC – 2nd century AD. A trepanation hole with signs of healing was fou…
Posthumous Trepanation from the Burial of the Middle Bronze Age on the Upper Don
The paper publishes the results of a study by the method of tracology of postmortem trepanation found on the skull of a man from the burial of the Middle Don catacomb culture of the Bronze Age. The burial itself is an atypical reburial of bone remains, which is part of a large ancestral funeral and ritual complex built by the bearers of the tradition of roller ornamentation of ceramics and can be tentatively dated to the XXIII-XXII centuries BC. …
Upper Palaeolithic in Eastern Kazakhstan (Based on the Materials of the Ushbulak Site)
This article focuses on the Upper Paleolithic lithic industries from layers 5.1-4 of the Ushbulak site in Eastern Kazakhstan. These assemblages, dated approximately to ~24-21 kyr BP, show the appearance of pressure flaking technique, being thus chronologically consistent with the earliest manifestations of this knapping technique known in South Korea and Northeast China. The primary reduction and toolset composition of the Late Upper Paleolithic …
Bone Artifacts from the Middle Palaeolithic Site of Rozhok I (Cultural Horizon VI) in the North-Eastern Azov Region
The multilayer site of Rozhok I is a reference object for the study of the Middle Palaeolithic in the south of the Russian Plain. The well-preserved cultural remains lying in a thick bed of loess-soil sediments may shed light on a number of questions regarding the chronology and cultural affinities of the regional Middle Palaeolithic industries, as well as the economic activity of their makers and the character of manufacturing technologies used …
Personal Ornaments from Kostenki 17, Layer II
Layer II of Kostenki 17 has yielded one of the earliest Upper Palaeolithic assemblages in Eastern Europe. In addition to lithic and bone implements, the collection includes numerous ornaments with perforated holes made from fox teeth, petrified remains and soft stones. This collection of ornaments is unique in both the variety of raw materials and the peculiarity of manufacturing technologies. The paper presents the results of a use-wear study of…
Morphological features of domestic flint firestrikers
Prehistoric Pendants as Instigators of Sound and Body Movements
In the Late Mesolithic graves of Yuzhniy Oleniy Ostrov, northwest Russia, large numbers of Eurasian elk ( Alces alces ) incisors have been found. These teeth, for the most part fashioned into portable pendants, seem to have formed decorative sets for the garments or accessories of the deceased. This article examines both the technologies associated with these artefacts and their uses, as well as reflecting on the sensorial experiences generated b…
Let’s groove
More than 4300 Eurasian elk ( Alces alces ) incisors, most of them pendants, were found in 84 burials in the Late Mesolithic cemetery of Yuzhniy Oleniy Ostrov, Northwest Russia. We analysed the manufacture techniques of elk teeth (4014), in the collection of the Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography, St Petersburg. A striking observation is that the manufacture of these pendants is similar in all burials. Teeth were worked by car…
Wild Boar ( Sus scrofa ) Teeth from a Female Burial in Yuzhniy Oleniy Ostrov, Northwestern Russia (c. 6200 cal BC) – Local Rarities or Transported Goods
Tooth pendants of European elk, Eurasian beaver and brown bear are the most common artefact type in graves at Late Mesolithic Yuzhniy Oleniy Ostrov on Lake Onega, northwestern Russia. In one burial of a 20-35-year-old woman, 18 fragments of wild boar tooth pendants from at least five individuals were found. Wild boar was not a regular part of local fauna in the Mesolithic, and if these wild boars were hunted locally, they were very unusual game. …

The Earliest Evidence of Human Occupation in Southeastern Europe
A fragment of a metatarsal of an extinct camel with chop marks found in the lower horizon of the Khapry alluvium on the Lower Don is described. The analysis demonstrated that the marks were left by a single tool with a robust and sharp edge (either a chopper or a large fl ake) during the butchering of a camel carcass. The animal belonged to the species Paracamelus alutensis – a typical member of the Khapry fauna (Middle Villafranchian, 2.1–1.97 M…
The Yana RHS Site
A newly discovered Paleolithic site on the Yana River, Siberia, at 71°N, lies well above the Arctic circle and dates to 27,000 radiocarbon years before present, during glacial times. This age is twice that of other known human occupations in any Arctic region. Artifacts at the site include a rare rhinoceros foreshaft, other mammoth foreshafts, and a wide variety of tools and flakes. This site shows that people adapted to this harsh, high-latitude…
