Archaeological and geoarchaeological properties of functional areas at the Upper Paleolithic site of Zaraysk, East European plain
This study investigates the archaeological and geoarchaeological properties of a cultural layer at the Upper Paleolithic site of Zaraysk. We examine the human impact on soil properties within several functional areas using a multiproxy approach including physical, geochemical, and biogeochemical methods. The percentage of organic carbon most likely added by various human activities was estimated by applying a new approach using n -alkane contents…
“Caches” in Mammoth Skulls at Sites of the Kostenki-Avdeyevo Culture (Zaraysk and Kostenki 1 layer I)
Статья посвящена анализу археологических свидетельств преднамеренного размещения ценных предметов («кладов») в черепах мамонтов на поселениях костёнковско-авдеевской культуры восточного граветта (стоянки Зарайск А, Е, F и Костёнки-1, слой I). Детально рассматриваются шесть таких находок, их пространственное расположение, стратиграфический контекст и состав. Большое внимание уделяется проявлениям связи «кладов» с жилыми структурами (полуземлянками…
Caches» in Mammoth Skulls at Sites of the Kostenki-Avdeyevo Culture (Zaraysk and Kostenki 1 layer I)
We analyze the archaeological evidence of the deliberate placement of valuables («caches») in mammoth skulls at sites of the Eastern Gravettian Kostenki-Avdeyevo culture (Zaraysk A, E, F, and Kostenki 1 layer I). Six such finds are examined, specifically their spatial arrangement, stratigraphic context, and composition. Special attention is paid to the connection of «caches» with living structures (semi-subterranean dwellings) and ritual complexe…
The Occupation Layer and the Habitation Levels at the Zaraysk Site
За годы исследований на Зарайской стоянке сложилась методика по выявлению уровней обитания, «жилых поверхностей». Археологический анализ культурного слоя ведется в тесной связи с естественнонаучной составляющей формирования отложений. Выявление специфики хозяйственно-бытовых комплексов, выяснение причин их вариабельности и непосредственный анализ составляющих их компонентов позволяет раскрывать особенности эксплуатации, специфики разных участков …
Examples of Apprentice Flint Knapping at the Zaraysk B Site
The paper presents the evidence of flint knapping by people with different skill levels at the Eastern Gravettian site of Zaraysk B on the Russian Plain. The basic methodological approach used in this study is the analysis of “deviations from the technological norm”. In addition, the results are verified via more traditional methods of spatial and technological analysis of the refit sets. The analysis of the totality of cores and core preforms le…
Problems of the Upper Paleolithic in the foothills of the Northern Tien Shan: Latest discoveries and perspectives
Introduction. This work is devoted to the assessment of the Upper Paleolithic sites of the Northern Tien Shan. Materials and methods. Plains and foothills of Kazakhstan occupies a large western part of Central Asia and stretches from the Caspian Sea in the west to the Altai Mountains in the east. There are many Paleolithic sites, the vast majority of which are open-air (surface) sites. Recently several multilayer Upper Paleolithic sites have been…
The Bifacial Leaf-Shaped Point From Excavations of the Zaraiske Site
На Зарайской стоянке (пункт Зарайск Е) в 2018 г. в яме-хранилище 28 была обнаружена уникальная находка. Это листовидный наконечник, выполненный в бифасиальной технике, нетипичной для костёнковско-авдеевской культуры. Изделие было намеренно положено на дно ямы и засыпано охрой. На наконечнике четко видны следы затертости всех граней. Вещь является уникальной как с эстетической точки зрения, так и в плане археологической типологии и технологии. Пря…
The studies on the Sungir Upper Paleolithic site in 2014–2015
The article is devoted to the results of archaeological excavations carried out on the Sungir in 2014-2015. The main purpose of these works was to obtain new data on the spatial structure of the cultural layer of the Sungir site. The relevance of these studies is caused by still unsolved question of whether Sungir can be considered as a site with a complex archaeological stratigraphy or the features of its spatial structure are only the result of…

Paleolithic Danae: A Masterpiece From the 2016 Excavations at Khotylevo 2
Статья посвящена предварительной публикации новой женской статуэтки из раскопок 2016 г., проводившихся на участке пункта В стоянки Хотылёво 2. Дается описание внешнего вида, сохранности и археологического контекста находки. Определены аналогии и типологическая характеристика. Статуэтка изображает тучную, возможно, беременную женщину и относится к так называемому хотылёвскому типу женских изображений восточного граветта. Фигурка залегала на древне…
Ceramics” From the Zaraysk Upper Paleolithic Site
Zaraysk is one of the best studied and known Russian Upper Paleolithic sites of the Kostenki-Willendorf type. One of the most intriguing findings of excavations at that site concerns an unusual group of artifacts, tentatively interpreted as ceramics. The article gives their detailed description and addresses their spatial distribution. The items have been subjected to firing, but the chemical and mineralogical analysis suggests that they were mad…
Couteaux de Kostienki et lames aménagées par technique de Kostienki »: Retour sur un malentendu historique
Les «couteaux de Kostienki » ont été identifiés au début du XXe siècle par Petr Efimenko (1915) un pionnier de l’archéologie paléolithique russe. Après un siècle de travaux autour de leur identification et leur caractérisation, ces outils sont aujourd’hui un des indices qui permettent, selon certains auteurs, de renforcer le consensus d’une civilisation gravettienne paneuropéenne. En effet, depuis leur première identification, ces objets ont depu…
Une statuette de bison découverte dans le site de Zaraïsk (région de Moscou, Russie)
Le premier objet d’art mobilier du site gravettien de Zaraysk (Russie, région de Moscou) a été découvert au cours de la campagne de fouilles de 2001. Il s’agit d’une figurine de bison en ivoire de Mammouth, un véritable «chef d’oeuvre » de sculpture paléolithique daté aux alentours de 22000 BP. Au regard d’autres exemples d’objets d’art mobilier bien connus d’Europe centrale et orientale, cet artefact est non seulement l’une des plus anciennes pr…

New finds of art objects from the Upper Palaeolithic site of Zaraysk, Russia
The new art objects from Zaraysk show an extraordinary repertoire of incised carving on mammoth ivory plaques and carving in the round, including representations of women and large mammals, and geometric decoration on bone utensils. The authors show that while belonging to the broad family of Upper Palaeolithic artists, the Zaraysk carvers produced forms particular to their region, some with magical associations
