В статье представлены результаты исследования микропластинчатого расщепления на многослойном местонахождении Сухотино-4, расположенном на южной окраине г. Читы в Восточном Забайкалье. Раскопки памятника осуществлялись в 1970-х и 1980-х гг. Установлено, что каменная индустрия Сухотино-4 характеризуется выраженной направленностью на производство бифасов-орудий, наряду с которыми существенную долю составляют микропластины и изделия из них. В ходе ис…
The Rock Arts of the Kamushek Mountain in the Selenga River Valley (Western Transbaikalia)
The article describes a new location of rock paintings discovered in 2024 in the northwestern part of the Tsagan-Daban ridge (Western Transbaikalia). A new archaeological site is called Kamushek, after the rocky mountain on whose rocks the images painted with ocher, a mineral pigment of natural origin, were found. The study found that more than half of the rock paintings were not visible on the surface of the rocks during visual inspection. In th…
Ust’-Kyahta-16
The Ust-Kyakhta-16 archaeological site was discovered in 1990 in the south of Western Transbaikalia, 4 km north of the village of Ust-Kyakhta, in the vicinity of which numerous archaeological studies were carried out in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Ust-Kyakhta-16 is located 45–75 m above the Selenga River, which is significantly higher than the Stone Age sites previously studied in these areas, located up to 15 m above the river. Resea…
New Data on the Early Upper Palaeolithic in the vicinity of Ust’-Kyahta (Western Transbaikalia)
Since the late 19th century, archaeological research including the Stone Age studies have been carried out in the vicinity to the village of Ust’-Kyahta. At the first stage of research (until the second part of the 20th century), only surface materials were collected. The considerably large amount of assembled archaeological materials served the basis for the elaboration of the first schemes of the Paleolithic development in Transbaikalia. Origin…
Microblade Production in the Sukhotino-4 Industry, Eastern Transbaikalia
We have analyzed microblade production at Sukhotino-4, a stratified site in the southern part of Chita, Eastern Transbaikalia, excavated in the 1970s and 1980s. Its lithic industry specialized in bifacial tools and, to a large extent, in microblades and tools made on them. The sample includes over 300 cores and their preforms intended for manufacturing microblades and found in eleven layers. On the basis of morphological and typological analyses,…
Stages of the Human Inhabiting the Territory of the Oka Plateau (Sayan Mountain) in the Final Pleistocene and Early Holocene

New Investigations of Rock Art on the West of the Tsagan-Daban Ridge (Western Transbaikalia)
The western spurs of the Tsagan-Daban mountain range (Western Transbaikalia), fringing the right bank of the Selenga river valley from the mouth of the Khilka to the mouth of the small river Zhirimka, are poorly studied in archaeological terms. Only in the last decade, objects of ancient rock art have become known here, most of which are difficult to access — removed from the Selenga coast, and located high above the river level, which makes it d…
Khengerekte-Sukhotino-An Upper Paleolithic Culture in Transbaikalia
During the studies at the Barun-Alan-1 stratified site in Western Transbaikalia, a lithic industry was described, providing a basis for a new archaeological culture, termed Khengerekte. Similar materials were excavated from nearby sites such as Sloistaya Skala and Khenger-Tyn-3 Svyatilishche. A comparative analysis of the Khengerekte industry of Barun-Alan-1 and that from the Sukhotino-4 in southern Chita, Eastern Tranbaikalia, reveals that most …
People and Volcanoes of the Okа Plateau in Ancient Times
The Oka Plateau is situated in the Sayan Mountain System on the West of the Buriatia Republic. In the Late Pleistocene, this territory was influenced by local glaciers which were developed along the rivers’ valleys. . Glaciers played an important role in the strategy of human development of the territory of the Oka Plateau, for long periods of time making inaccessible the numerous valleys of the tributaries of the Oka River, the main water artery…
The ‘Tri Skaly’ Geoarchaeological Site in Western Transbaikalia

Lower lithological layers at this site contain archaeological materials typical for the Western Transbaikalian Early Upper Palaeolithic and revealed analogies in different areas with the materials of the most investigated sites belonged to this period: Podzvonkaya Eastern Complex, Podzvonkaya South-Eastern …
Paleolithic Site Tri Skaly in Western Transbaikalia as a Hunter-Gatherers’ Base Camp
Purpose. In 2015 a new archaeological site Tri Skaly were found in the lower part of the Khilock River basin (Western Transbaikalia). This site is of a large interest in the sense of investigations concerned early stages of the Upper Palaeolithic in Transbaikal, because it is westernmost among similar sites and located in the area where such sites were not known earlier. The purpose of this investigation is defining the functional purpose of the …
Ancient Ritual Objects of the Oka Plateau (Eastern Sayan)
Sacral beliefs took one of the most important spheres in the life of ancient societies. The evidence of such beliefs can be recognized in stone constructions used for various ritual activities and differentiated by architectonic features depending on their functionality. Some of such constructions were found on the territory of the Oka region (Buryat Republic). One part of them has a four-angled, circular, or ring-shaped form and a diameter up to…

Unenker – a Paleolithic Site of the Khengerekte-Sukhotino Culture in the Transbaikal Region
Recent research has shown that the stone industries of the Barun-Alan-1 site (lower level of layer 6, level 6/7, and layer 7) in the Western Transbaikal region and Sukhotino-4 site in the Eastern Transbaikal region belong to the same Khengerekte-Sukhotino culture. The earliest layers containing the evidence of this culture at the Barun-Alan-1 site are associated with the Final Early Upper Palaeolithic, while the latest layer were dated to the Fin…
On the Criteria of Archaeological Cultures’ Distinguishing in Paleolithic of Transbaikalia
An archaeological culture is one of the base terms of archaeology. The content of this term was discussed from the time of its introduction into scientific discourse. During the investigations in Transbaikalia, researchers asserted about Stone Age archaeological cultures for the first time at the beginning of the 1930s. Till the beginning of the 1890s, A. P. Okladnikov’s opinion has prevailed. According to him, Transbaikalia Paleolithic represent…
Blade Production in the Stone Industry of the Upper Palaeolithic Site Tri Skaly (Western Transbaikalian)
In 2015 the investigations on a new multi-layered archaeological site named Tri Skaly started. The analysis of the stone artifacts showed that lithological layers 3–5 contains the homogenous materials‐ typical to the early stage of the Upper Palaeolithic in the Western Transbaikalia. Materials under consideration include such important component of the primary knapping as blades and cores used for blade production. The first results of the invest…

To the Issue of the Origin of Microblade Production in Tolbaginskaya Culture in the Early Upper Paleolithic of Transbaikalia
Nowadays the territory of Western Transbaikalia is the place where the stages of Early and Final stages of Paleolithic are presented. This is due to the presence of excavated and investigated stratified archaeological objects dated to that time. The sites of Final Paleolithic in Transbaikalia are characterized by production and using in the work of a large number of microblades and small blades.
