The World of Middle Palaeolithic Humans of the Donbass and Azov Regions
The Middle Paleolithic, as an epoch in the development of human society, was characterized by the homeostasis between the socio-cultural systems and their natural environments. Middle Paleolithic сommunities settled in the areas with the most favorable combinations of basic resources. At that time, almost the entire territory of the southern part of the Russian Plain, including the Donbass and Azov regions, was dominated by steppe landscapes. In …
Distribution of cultural remains along the horizons of the Rozhok I site
The Rozhok I is a unique site of the Middle Paleolithic of the Southern Russian Plain. Its scientific potential as an object of archaeological heritage and the archaeological collections collected by N.D. Praslov in 1961-1962 is multifaceted. This publication provides detailed information on the spatial distribution of cultural remains in the horizons of the site, and reconstructions of settlement. horizons (cultural layers) varies. Their signifi…
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 Solnechny Site and the Late Upper Paleolithic Culture of the Middle Yenisei Region
The Palaeolithic site of Solnechny was discovered in in the city of Krasnoyarsk (Middle Siberia) in 2017. The site is located on the high terrace levels of the left side of the Yenisei River valley, at a considerable distance from the modern river bed. During the salvage excavations in 2019 and 2020 the site was studied over an area of more than 3500 square meters. The rich Paleolithic cultural layer was included in the profile of modern chernoze…
The Microblades Cache from Upper Paleolithic Cultural Layer of the Strelka-1 Site in Krasnoyarsk
Observations. During the excavation of the multi-layered archeological site of Strelka-1 in 2021 a small cluster of microblades chipped off one core was found within Upper Paleolithic cultural layer. The cultural layer dated about 16 000 cal BP. 12 microblades were found tightly adjacent to each other in a kind of a "bunch". It is possible that the blades originally were kept in an organic small "bag" or were tied with a strap together. The main …

Представлены материалы нового памятника палеолита, обнаруженного в 2020 г. на правом берегу Миусского лимана недалеко от места впадения реки в Таганрогский залив Азовского моря, на южной окраине с. Николаево-Отрадное Неклиновского р-на Ростовской обл. Зачисткой участка берегового обрыва высотой до 10 м выявлена сложная стратиграфия субаквальных и субаэральных пород позднего и среднего плейстоцена, определены горизонты с каменными изделиями и кост…
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 …
Specifics of Formation and Deformation of Stone Age Sites Cultural Layers in Steppe Zone of East European Plain
The modern theory of cultural layer is based on idea of indissoluble links of processes of formation and destruction of a layer of the cultural remains. The cultural remains could accumulate both in the sub-aerial and in the sub-aquatic environments. Horizons in the sub-aerial deposits are the most diverse. The equally important features, that demonstrate the current state of cultural layers, depended on scenarios of destruction of the cultural r…
Nikolaevo-Otradnoye II—A New Early and Middle Paleolithic Site in the Northeastern Azov Region
We describe materials from a new Paleolithic site, discovered in 2020 on the right bank of Mius estuary, near its confl uence with the Taganrog Bay of the Sea of Azov, in the southern outskirts of the village of Nikolaevo-Otradnoye, which is in the Neklinovksky District of the Rostov Region. The clearing of a 10-meter-high river-bluff revealed a complex stratigraphy of subaqueous and subaerial Late and Middle Pleistocene rocks. Horizons with lith…
Gun and Fire Lighter Flints, Gun Supplies from the “Russian” Cultural Layers of the Fortress of Azov of the 17th–18th Centuries
During the 17th–18th centuries, the fortress of Azov played an extremely important role in the geopolitics of the Russian state and the Ottoman Empire. During the period of the “Azov sitting” (1637–1642) Azov was the base of the Don Cossacks, and under Peter I (1696–1711) it provided Russia with control over the Azov basin and gave access to the Black Sea. Under the terms of the Treaty of the Pruth, in 1711 Azov returned to the power of Turkey. I…
Vasilyevskaya Pustosh’ — the Specialized Settlement-workshop of the Chalcolithic in the North-Western Donbass
The article addresses the problem of flint production in the Donbass during the Chalcolithic and contains the publication of materials from the Vasilyevskaya Pustosh’ site. The peculiarities of the geological history of the Donbass have determined the abundance of geological sources of Upper Cretaceous flint here. In the Chalcolithic, the Donbass evolved as a large European center for the extraction and processing of flint raw materials. At the V…
Gun and Fire-Steel Flints, Gun Supplies of the 18th C. Annenskaya Fortress on the Lower Don
The Annenskaya fortress is a well-preserved star-shaped earthen bastion located on the right bank of the Don river near the Starocherkassk fortress. Near the Annenskaya fortress, there were unfortified Soldatskaya and Dolomanovskaya villages. The Annenskaya fortification mainly functioned from 1733 to 1760, while the pinnacle of its population (the garrison reached 9,000 people) fell at the Russian-Turkish war of 1735–1739. There were no archaeol…
Middle Paleolithic Site Sukhaya Mechёtka
The Sukhaya Mechёtka site, located on the northern outskirts of Volgograd, has attracted the attention of Paleolithic researchers since its discovery in 1951 by geologists A.I.Koptev and M.N. Grishchenko. The materials of the site - a collection of stone products currently kept at the MAE RAS, and chronostratigraphic information – can be considered as perfect by standards of open Paleolithic complexes. To a large extent, the site acquired such a …
Primary reduction technology in the Sukhaya Mechetka site assemblage
The Sukhaya Mechetka site in the Lower Volga region being widely known due to the unique preservation of cultural remains, their clear geological position and a rich set of tools has long become a kind of icon of the Middle Paleolithic of Eastern Europe. Improtantly the site was excavated over a wide area (about 650 square meters). During the excavation an assemblage of stone items including more than 350 tools, cores and about 10,000 flint and q…
