Biface Trimming Elements as Indicators of Tool Rejuvenation Intensity
Biface trimming elements represent an important diagnostic source of information for studying various stages of bifacial tool production. In Middle Paleolithic assemblages, they often constitute a significant portion of the sample, making them particularly useful for identifying specific technological operations such as primary reduction and shaping of bifacial preforms, edge formation and retouching, working edge rejuvenation, and modification o…
Biface Trimming Elements as Indicators of Tool Rejuvenation Intensity
Бифасиальные технические сколы, или сколы утончения бифасов (bifacial thinning flakes), представляют собой важный диагностический источник информации для изучения различных стадий бифасиального производства. В среднепалеолитических каменных коллекциях они нередко составляют значительную часть археологического материала, что позволяет использовать их для определения конкретных технологических операций, включая первичную обработку и фасоннаж бифаси…
Virtual Reconstruction of Flakes Based on 3D Modeling of Negative Surfaces on Cores and Scrapers
This article discusses the development and testing of a new approach to the virtual reconstruction of lithic artifacts, aimed at filling gaps in archaeological collections. Unlike existing approaches, which are primarily focused on objects with bilateral symmetry, the proposed methodology allows for the reconstruction of missing flakes based on their negatives remaining on matrices—cores and tool preforms, such as Quina scrapers. The method was s…
Elongated Retouched Points from the Middle Paleolithic Complexes of Obi-Rakhmat Grotto
This article discusses the technological and morphological variability of stone points from the Obi-Rakhmat variant of the Middle Paleolithic in Central Asia. Special attention is given to the category of convergent tools, as sets of elongated retouched points often serve as markers in the context of Middle Paleolithic laminar industries, which are typically associated with early manifestations of anatomically modern humans. The study of their mo…
Blank Production in the Middle Paleolithic Industry of Obi-Rakhmat Rockshelter
The authors focus on the analysis of primary reduction strategy in the Middle Paleolithic industry of layers 20–21 at ObiRakhmat Rockshelter (Uzbekistan) and the comparative analysis of Obi-Rakhmat with the industries of the Early Middle Paleolithic of the Levant. The topic is currently popular due the growing interest in Central Asia as a key region for studying the dispersal of hominins and the spread of various cultural traditions. The researc…
Application of Ternary Plots for Data Visualization and Analysis in Paleolithic Studies
The article presents a methodological approach to the application of ternary plots for the multivariate analysis and visualization of archaeological data in Paleolithic studies. The relevance of the study is determined by the need for the widespread adoption of effective tools for interpreting complex relationships within three-component systems characteristic of typological, process, and taphonomic studies in Paleolithic studies. An undeniable a…
Morphometric Study of Cut Marks on Faunal Remains from Chagyrskaya Cave
The authors define the types of tools used by Neanderthals of Chagyrskaya Cave (Altai) for the terminal stages of carcass processing (meat cutting) through a comprehensive morphometric analysis of cut marks on paleofaunal remains. The research methodology integrates traditional metric analysis with a modern geometric morphometric approach, enabling quantitative assessment of the microprofile shape of cut marks. Using an industrial profilometer, 2…
Carinated technology in the upper palaeolithic of west Central Asia
The article presents a study on the genesis of the Upper Paleolithic carinated technology in the Kulbulakian from western Central Asia. The initial manifestations of carinated technology in Central Asia are documented in the Middle Paleolithic Obirahmatian period. The formation of the Kulbulakian on the basis of the gradual development of Middle Paleolithic local complexes has previously been proposed (Kolobova et al., 2013). The studies conducte…
Percussive-Abrasive Stone Tools from Chagyrskaya Cave
This article presents a comprehensive study of percussive-abrasive active stone tools from Chagyrskaya Cave, using experimental use-wear and statistical methods, supplemented by 3D-modeling. Experiments combined with use- wear analysis allowed us to determine the functions of these tools by comparing the working surfaces and use-wear traces in the Chagyrskaya samples with those in the reference samples. As a result, we identified 19 retouchers, f…
Basic Principles of Selecting Stone Raw Materials in Tool Production in the Industry of Chagyrskaya Peshchera
This article is devoted to Neanderthal adaptation strategies, whose study is becoming more and more relevant in recent years as a result of new discoveries demonstrating Neanderthal cognitive capabilities. Our perception of this subspecies of ancient hominins and of their work skills is changing in view of these discoveries. In this connection, investigation of easternmost Eurasian Neanderthals’ tool manufacturing processes, who produced stone to…
Preliminary Results of the Use-wear Analysis of Convergent Scrapers and Retouched Points from Chagyrskaya Cave Assemblages
Personal Ornament Production Technology in the Early Holocene Complexes of Western Central Asia
The stratifi ed site of Obishir-5 is one of the most important Final Pleistocene to Early Holocene sites in western Central Asia. In the Early Holocene component (10,700–8200 cal BP) of this site (layers 2 and 3), we discovered one of the oldest and largest assemblages of soft stone ornaments known from the region. It includes 5 items: three oval, sub-triangular, and sub-rectangular pendants, one“labret”-like ornament, and one ornament blank. All…

Lithic Raw Material Exploitation in the Sibiryachikha Facies, the Middle Paleolithic of Altai
The assemblages of the Sibiryachikha facies of the Middle Paleolithic stand out in terms of their production technology and typology among the other contemporary lithic assemblages of Gorny Altai. In this study, the role of raw materials in the development of characteristic features of the Okladnikov and Chagyrskaya caves' industries is determined. The proximity of sources of the raw material used has been established, and the main principles of …
Carinated Pieces in Paleolithic Assemblages of Central Asia1
Before the 1970s, Eurasian Aurignacian artifacts of the carinated type were interpreted as tools, specifically endscrapers or burins. At present, they are more and more often regarded as cores for bladelets with a curved profile. In the southeast, their distribution area was previously believed to extend to the southern part of the Afghan-Tajik depression. Recent studies in western Central Asia, however, suggest that the boundary passes across no…

The Upper Paleolithic Assemblages of Shugnou, Tajikistan
Lithic industries from the key stratified Upper Paleolithic site at Shugnou, Tajikistan, are described. Results of the technological, typological, and attributive analyses suggest that the industries of all horizons represent a single cultural tradition. Its evolution was marked by a gradual transformation of the microblade technology with the use of carinate techniques. This tradition is paralleled by lithic assemblages from Kulbulak layers 2.1 …
The Upper Paleolithic site of Dodekatym-2 in Uzbekistan
Upper Paleolithic sites in the northern part of Western Central Asia are few, and their distribution is irregular. Most have no cultural layer. The scarcity of sites and fi nds is usually explained by depopulation in the 40–25 ka BP time range. Results of fi eld work conducted by expeditions from the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography SB RAS in Uzbekistan since 1998 suggest that even an arid climate did not prevent humans from settling in t…
