Examining the Association between Pigment Residues and Potlid-like Cracking
The article examines flint artefacts with traces of pigment discovered in 1993 in layer II of the Zaskelna V site (Crimea), focusing on one specimen with rare incomplete potlid-like cracking and associated ochrerich residues. An initial hypothesis that the cracking was caused by heated pigment-containing adhesive was not supported experimentally. Instead, the scar likely resulted from localised sudden cooling, while the pigment adhered later to t…
The Earliest Evidence of Deliberate Ivory Processing Dates Back to Around 0.4 Million Years Ago
This paper presents data on ivory micro‐artifacts discovered in the Middle Pleistocene (MIS 11) horizons of the multilayered Lower Paleolithic site of Medzhibozh A in western Ukraine. These micro‐artifacts provide the earliest known reliable evidence for the deliberate modification of proboscidean ivory material using bipolar‐on‐anvil knapping and trimming techniques. Medzhibozh A, situated in the upper reaches of the Southern Bug Valley, has yie…
Technological Trajectory of Medzhybizh 1 Layer III
Evidence of bipolar knapping of mammoth ivory at Medzhybizh A
This paper presents the results of a technological and experimental study of mammoth ivory artefacts recovered from Layer II–I of the Medzhybizh A Lower Palaeolithic site in western Ukraine. Ivory is an unusual material in prehistoric knapping traditions, especially in earlier periods. Our experiments demonstrate that the workability of ivory depends strongly on its preservation state: over-dried specimens are brittle and fragment easily, while b…
Investigating the Post-Discard alteration of flint artefacts at Medzhibozh 1 Lower Palaeolithic Site, Ukraine
Return from nothingness
In the modern realities of the aggressive war started by the russian federation against Ukraine, the problem of preserving museum collections is more relevant than ever. Our essay highlights the history of the collection of stone artefacts from the Iskorost site, which was discovered by V. Khvoika more than 110 years ago and which managed to “survive” a number of extreme events, retaining its scientific and exhibition potential. The Iskorost site…
The Iskorost Site and its Place in the Stine Age of Ukraine
The Palaeolithic legacy of V. Khvoika consists of three discovered and researched sites: Kyiv-Kyrylivska, Protasiv Yar (Kyiv), and Iskorost (Korosten, Zhytomyr Oblast). The Kyiv-Kyrylivska site gained the most publicity due to the large excavation area, clear and more understandable stratigraphy, and the representativeness of the collection of stone and bone inventory. The site of Iskorost was discovered in 1911 during the excavations of medieval…
A new aspect of post-depositional alterations of lithic artefacts
Flint artefacts have been identified in the materials of the Lower Palaeolithic sites of Medzhibozh, which have experienced the effects of post-depositional alterations (PDA). We suggest a particular combination of anthropogenic and natural effects on lithic artefacts. In the vicinity of Medzhibozh in the Khmelnytskyi region in the West of Ukraine, several multilayered stratified Lower Palaeolithic sites are currently known. Artefacts and accompa…
The Lower Palaeolithic assemblage of Medzhibozh 1 layer III (Ukraine) and its palaeoenvironmental context
The main focus of this paper is to present the stone assemblage of one of the Lower Palaeolithic layers of Medzhibozh 1. Detailed typological and technological characteristics of the stone industry of layer III of the locality Medzhibozh 1 are given against the background of geomorphological characteristics and features of the Quaternary structure of the area. Medzhibozh 1 represents one of several multi-layered sites of Lower Palaeolithic age on…
Technical and Morphological Signs of Limestone Processingat the Lower Palaeolithic Site Medzhybizh A
The task of identifying and analyzing the signs of intentional processing non-siliceous raw materials became relevant in European Palaeolithic studies only in recent years with the discovery of numerous sites, where such materials were widely used. This led to the need for experimental work focused on the study of the physical principles of knapping of non-siliceous raw materials and on the identification of its flaking capabilities. This article…
