Technical Aspects of the Final Shaping of Leaf-Shaped Bifacial Tools in the Upper Paleolithic Altai
The paper presents the results of a technological analysis of leaf-shaped bifaces, brought to the final stage of manufacture, and of the production waste from such bifaces, discovered at the Upper Paleolithic sites in the Altai Mountains: Kara-Bom, Tyumechin-4, Ust-Karakol-1, Anui-3, and Denisova Cave. The key aspect of the study was the technical methods of secondary thinning and shaping of bifaces, traceable on artifacts from the pre-final and …
Production Method and Morphometry of Small Blade Blanks in the Context of Raw Material and Cultural Specifi cs of the Altai Early Upper Paleolithic (Based on Experimental Data)
The article presents the original results of an experimental techniques of manufacturing bladelets; the experiments were executed in accordance with the economic and raw material specificities reconstructed for the cultures of this period in the region. The aim of this study was to determine the features of the interrelationships between the reduction technique, the lithic raw material, and the characteristics of the resulting bladelets; the deri…
Developing Diagnostic Criteria for Differentiating Blades Produced by Stone and Antler Hammers (Based on Experimental Knapping Data)
This article presents the results of an analysis of a collection of experimental reference samples—laminar blanks produced within a unified reduction sequence for knapping volcanic rock (tuff from the Ursul River, Central Altai) using two different knapping techniques: direct percussion with a soft mineral hammer and with an antler hammer. The replicated reduction model was based on a knapping method reconstructed through the study of the most an…
Blade Component in the Upper Paleolithic Assemblages of the Denisova Cave East Chamber
The article presents the results of technological, morphometric and attribute-based analyses of blade products (cores and blades) from the Upper Paleolithic assemblages (layers 11.2 and 11.1) of the East Chamber of Denisova Cave. These layers are dated to the range of 70–30 BP. It has been established that blades and/or blade-based tools were predominantly manufactured of local raw materials of volcanic or sedimentary origin beyond the cave; the …
The Knapping Method in the Earliest Blade Industries of the Siberian Upper Paleolithic
Purpose . This study investigates the earliest forms of blade production in the Initial Upper Paleolithic in the Altai. Despite the widespread availability of high-quality lithic raw materials during the period from 47 to 40 ka uncal BP, the tradition of producing and using large blades reached its peak development here. These traditions retained characteristic features of the era. Results . The research specifically focuses on the knapping metho…
Rocks and Their Sources in the Upper Paleolithic of the Altai
On the basis of the analysis of thin leaf-shaped bifacial points, which are very elaborate and sensitive to the quality of rocks, we reconstruct the adaptive strategies of humans at the early stages of the Upper Paleolithic. Mineral raw materials and their exploitation relating to different resource bases of the central (the Ursul River basin) and northwestern (the Anuy River basin) parts of the Altai region are analyzed. To attribute the rock so…
Rocks and Their Sources in the Upper Paleolithic of the Altai
В статье на основе анализа материала тонких листовидных бифасиальных наконечников — наиболее требовательных к качеству камня и сложных в исполнении изделий — реконструируются сырьевые и адаптационные стратегии, характерные для населения Алтая ранних этапов верхнего палеолита. Минеральное сырье и его использование анализируются с учетом условий разных ресурсных баз центральной (долина р. Урсул) и северо-западной (долина р. Ануй) частей региона. Дл…
Beryozovka Cave
This article presents first results of research in Beryozovka cave near the village of Beryozovka in Soloneshenoe District of Altai Krai. The karst cavity was located in the wall of a deep ravine which cut through the bedrock of the right slope of the valley and extended with its mouth to the Anui River 1.5 km from the cave. Five lithological layers were identified in the section of soft cave deposits over 3 m thick. Judging by lithological and s…
Buryat Traditional Bow in the Collection of the Russian Museum of Ethnography (According to Documents on Receipt before the 1930s)
Purpose . The Russian Museum of Ethnography (St. Petersburg) is today one of the largest specialized ethnographic museums in Russia. Many weapons, including traditional bows, are stored in its funds. The source base of the study was 11 traditional bows collected in the territory of the Buryats (Baikal and Transbaikalia) or interpreted as Buryat and entered the museum before the 1930s. Results . The studied museum exhibits can be divided into two …
Phenomenon of Early Upper Palaeolithic Bladelet Assemblages in the Altai Mountains
Purpose. The present study is devoted to the analysis, systematization, verification and generalization of data on "Aurignacian-like" bladelet assemblages of the Early Upper Palaeolithic of the Altai. In the regional context, this luminous phenomenon is considered the main component of the technocomplex of the Ust-Karakolian cultural tradition and even a cultural marker.Results. The study was based on the analysis of archaeological material from …
Holocene Archaeological Complexes of Denisova Cave
This article provides new research data resulting from an analysis of Holocene deposits excavated at the far end of south chamber in Denisova Cave. 1.6 m thick strata were examined in an area of 12 square meters. Lithological Layers 0, 2, and the upper part of Layer 3, have mostly yielded the pottery fragments dated to the Early Iron Age. The vessels were decorated with rows of pits, “pearls”, impressions produced by the corner section of a spatu…
Studies of the Middle and Upper Paleolithic Technocomplexes of Denisova Cave in 2021
The authors present results of the studies of the lithic industries associated with the upper part of the Pleistocene deposits in the South Chamber of Denisova Cave; the lithics were recovered in the course of excavations in 2021. The collection of artifacts from layers 12, 11, and 9 includes over 4,000 items. According to the absolute dates of the Pleistocene layers in the entryway zone of the South Chamber, layer 12 formed in the second half of…
Upper Palaeolithic Bifacial Points from Denisova Cave
The Altai tradition of manufacturing thin foliate bifacial points and ovoid bifaces demonstrates a clear connection with the culture and subsistence strategies of the most ancient Upper Palaeolithic human population of this region. Today, the issues of cultural and chronological attribution and specificity of this tool category as well as the study of its role in the economic and hunting activities of the population in general require profound st…
The Middle Paleolithic Stone Tool Industries from South Chamber of Denisova Cave
Research work resumed in South Chamber of Denisova cave in Altai requires a complete introduction of previously obtained collections into scientific use and the refinement of the techno-typological characteristics in these stone tool industries. This publication presents the results of a technical and typological analysis of stone industries from layers 22-19 and 14 in the mouth area of the southern chamber. The initial stages of the settlement o…
Bone Retouchers from the Denisova Cave
В статье представлены результаты исследования одного из типов слабо модифицированных костяных орудий палеолита – костяных ретушеров, обнаруженных в плейстоценовых отложениях Денисовой пещеры. В работе впервые вводятся в научный оборот ретушеры среднего и верхнего палеолита из материалов раскопок 2019 г. в южной галерее и находки из фаунистических коллекций из центрального зала пещеры, полученные в ходе работ 1993–1998 гг. Исследование показало, ч…
