Defining the Contribution of Animals and Humans to Bone Accumulation in Pleistocene Deposits Using Spatial Statistics (With Special Reference to the Main Chamber of the Tsagaan Agui Cave)
Identifying agents of bone accumulation in caves is often complicated by intense activity of carnivores. A methodology based on studying the density of finds and testing correlation between bones and lithic artifacts was applied to the Pleistocene layers of the Main Chamber in Tsagaan Agui Cave. Principal component analysis was performed to reduce data dimensionality, and its results were grouped using clustering. As a result, a group of layers (…

Pit in Archaeological Horizon 4/5 of the Tolbor-21 Site: Technological Set and Settlement Activity at the Boundary of the Initial and Early Upper Paleolithic in Northern Mongolia
The article presents an analysis of materials from archaeological horizon (AH) 4/5 of the Tolbor-21 site (Northern Mongolia) dated to the boundary between the Initial and Early Upper Paleolithic (ca. 42–40 ka BP). The study focuses on archaeological finds originating from a spatially pronounced depression of uncertain genesis, overlain by AH4 sediments and intruding into the deposits of AH5, which contained concentrations of lithic artifacts and …
Changes in the Morphology of Laminar Products in the Upper Paleolithic Industries of Tolbor-4 (Mongolia)
The article provides the analysis of blade product morphology from the cultural and chronological sequence of the Tolbor-4 site (Northern Mongolia), covering the periods of the Initial, Early, and Late Upper Paleolithic (ca. 45,000–12,000 BP). During the site occupation, homogeneous local raw material was used, which makes it possible to exclude the influence of raw material factor on the morphology of knapped products. The study was primarily ai…
Spatial Analysis of Archaeological Horizon of the Final Early Upper Paleolithic at Tolbor-21 site (Northern Mongolia)
The article provides a spatial analysis of Archaeological Horizon 2 (AH2) at the Tolbor-21 site, containing rare evidence of human presence in Northern Mongolia during the climatic change era associated with the Last Glacial Maximum. The collection from this horizon serves as a source for reconstructing the characteristics of lithic industry of the final Early Upper Paleolithic (EUP). The enclosing lithological layer has undergone significant pos…

For establishing the processes at the boundary of IUP and EUP, this assemblage was compared with assemblage from archaeological horizon 4 at the s…
Taphonomic Features of Lithic and Bone Finds: Use of Fabric Analysis for Identifying the Impact of Natural Processes on the Formation of Archaeological Horizons
Fabric analysis is a method of determining the role of natural processes in the formation of archaeological horizon based on orientations and inclination angles of finds. A system of indices (isotropy and elongation indices) characterizes mutual location of long axes of objects. Plotted on ternary diagram, the indices show what kind of natural processes affected the archaeological horizon, since each area of the diagram corresponds to a certain p…
Spatial Structures of the Initial/Early Upper Paleolithic at Tolbor-21, Northern Mongolia
В статье рассмотрены планиграфические структуры археологического горизонта 4 стоянки Толбор-21 (по материалам 2015-2017 гг.). Присутствие неутилитарных предметов, фаунистических остатков со следами воздействия человека, свидетельств использования огня делает эту стоянку у выходов каменного сырья перспективной для реконструкции пространственной организации у населения ранних этапов верхнего палеолита на территории Северной Монголии.

Spatial analysis included visual obs…
A New Type of IUP Settlement in the Selenga River Basin, Northern Mongolia: The Kharganyn Gol-13 Short-Term Occupation Site
Here we outline the results of excavations at a recently discovered Initial Upper Paleolithic site, Kharganyn Gol-13, located on a tributary of the Selenga River in northern Mongolia. The Selenga valley and those of its tributaries were key routes along which humans dispersed during the Initial Upper Paleolithic. The concentration of sites of that period is highest here. Most are situated near outcrops of lithic raw material and are classifi ed a…

Levallois Technology in China
Levallois technology dispersal is associated with several events of human habitation of the Asian region. Emergence of the Levallois technology in China precedes or coincides in time with the penetration of Initial Upper Paleolithic laminar industries into this region. All known Paleolithic localities, the assemblages of which include the Levallois component, are located in the border or adjacent zones in the modern China. The authors examine all…
Preliminary Results of the 2021 Excavation Campaign at Tsagaan Agui Cave in the Gobi Altai Region, Mongolia
Middle and Upper Paleolithic human migrations and dispersals throughout Central Asia are usually associated with middle altitudes and mild steppe and forest-steppe environments with herds of large game mammals. However, since at least the Middle Paleolithic, human populations penetrated areas of Central Asia characterized by extreme arid climatic and environmental conditions in modern times. Investigation of archaeological sites in such regions d…

Comparison Study of Cultural Layers Preservation at the Moiltyn Am Site (Central Mongolia)
Archaeological sites with unclear conditions of sediment accumulation and stratigraphic disturbances are always complicated to research. Usually other sites in the region with better preservation of cultural layers helps to understand and divide them into cultural chronological stages. However lack of such sites results in the need to find other approaches and research methods to study stratigraphic positions of cultural horizons. Purpose. This a…
