Anthropological Finds from the 2nd Dwelling Complex of Kostenki 1(I)
Three isolated human deciduous teeth have been discovered in the course of working with the collection from the 2nd dwelling complex of Kostenki 1(I) which is stored at IHMC RAS. No information about these teeth has been published until now. The teeth come from the southern part of the complex; they were found not far from the hearth line. The context of their discovery testifies that neither structure nor filling of this part of the excavation r…
The Radiocarbon Chronology of Late Upper Palaeolithic Sites in the Center of the Russian Plain
The Late Upper Palaeolithic of Kostёnki and adjacent territories (~21-12 ka uncal BP/~27-14 ka cal BP) remains the period least well-documented with absolute dating evidence. During this study, 19 samples were collected from the cultural layers of ten sites and submitted to the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit (ORAU) for radiocarbon dating. The results obtained significantly advance our knowledge of these sites' ages and of the development of …
Development of the microlithic technology in the Early Upper Palaeolithic of Kostenki (European Russia)
This article presents the results of the typological analysis of Early Upper Paleolithic non-geometric microliths from the Kostenki site cluster. A relationship between certain types of microlith and the age of different Kostenki sites was established. Based on stratigraphic correlation and radiocarbon dating, three chronological groups corresponding to three stratigraphic units are distinguished: a) the Lower Humic Bed, b) the level of the Campa…
Development Phases of the Microlithic Technology in the Early Upper Paleolithic of Kostenki
В статье представлены результаты технико-типологического анализа негеометрических микролитов стоянок ранней поры верхнего палеолита Костёнковско-Борщевского района. В ходе исследования была установлена связь между определенными видами негеометрических микролитов и выделенными на основании стратиграфической корреляции и радиоуглеродного возраста тремя группами памятников, соответствующими нижней гумусированной толще, уровню вулканического пепла и …
Magnetic properties as indicators of pedogenic and pyrogenic processes at the Upper Paleolithic site of Kostenki 14
In geoarchaeological studies, there is an issue with distinguishing between natural and anthropogenic signals in pedological paleoarchives. With the pedostratigraphy of the Upper Paleolithic site of Kostenki 14, this issue is reflected by problems with the determination of features of pedogenic and pyrogenic processes. This issue was addressed by means of a thorough analysis of the magnetic properties of paleosols accompanied by micromorphologica…
Objects made of organic materials from cultural layer II of Kostenki 17 (Spitsynskaya)
Eastern Europe’s “Transitional Industry”
The Streletskian is central to understanding the onset of the Upper Palaeolithic on the East European Plain. Early Streletskian assemblages are frequently seen as marking the Neanderthal-anatomically modern human (AMH) anthropological transition, as well as the Middle-to-Upper Palaeolithic archaeological transition. The age of key Streletskian assemblages, however, remains unclear, and there are outstanding questions over how they relate to Middl…
The Tempo of Cultural Change in the Kostenki Upper Paleolithic
The Kostenki-Borshchevo site complex (Voronezh region, Russia) serves as the foundation of Eastern Europe’s Upper Paleolithic chronocultural framework. Here we present new radiocarbon dates for three Kostenki sites. Dates of ∼27.5–27 ka BP for Kostenki 15 suggest that its archaeological layer accumulated over a short period. These results help to confirm that the site is unrelated to Aurignacian assemblages. New dates for the Kostenki-Avdeevo Cul…
Kostenki 17 (Spitsynskaya)
This paper describes the results of 2017-2020 fieldwork at the Upper Palaeolithic site of Kostenki 17 (Spitsynskaya). This work established the presence of five new horizons of finds, in addition to the two cultural layers known since the 1950s. Given the thickness of the Upper Humic Bed, it is clear that the horizons of finds are separated by sterile layers, and correspond to the existence of different sites on this part of the promontory. Despi…

New data for the Early Upper Paleolithic of Kostenki (Russia)
The Age of the ‘Anosovka-Tel’manskaya Culture’ and the Issue of a Late Streletskian at Kostёnki 11, SW Russia
Triangular, concave-base ‘Streletskian points’ are documented in several assemblages from the Kostёnki complex of Upper Palaeolithic sites in south-western Russia. Some of these assemblages have been argued to evidence very early modern human occupation of Eastern Europe. However, Streletskian points are also recorded from younger contexts, notably at Kostёnki 11, where examples are attributed both to Layer V and the stratigraphically higher Laye…

Paleogeography of Kostenki-14 (Markina Gora)
Multidisciplinary geological and paleogeographical studies have demonstrated that the so-called humus strata in the deluvial apron of Kostenki-14 are paleosols of various origins. It has been shown that cryogenic deformations in the section were mainly caused by block displacements of the entire sequence rather than by solifluction. At the time corresponding to the earliest cultural layer IVb (ca 37–36 ka BP), a flat linear hollow with a brook at…
Geoarchaeology of the Kostenki–Borshchevo sites, Don River Valley, Russia
The Kostenki–Borshchevo localities include 26 Upper Paleolithic sites on the first and second terraces along the west bank of the Don River, near Voronezh on the central East European Plain. Geoarchaeological research from 2001 through 2004 focused on sites Kostenki 1, 12, and 14, with additional work at Kostenki 11 and 16, and Borshchevo 5. The strata are grouped into three units (bottom up): Unit 1, > 50 ka, consists of coarse alluvium (represe…
A Palaeolithic 'Pompeii' at Kostenki, Russia
A new Upper Palaeolithic occupation layer has been discovered in 2000 at the site of Markina Gora (Kostenki 14) on the River Don (the Voronezh Oblast), in Russia. The layer was sealed by volcanic ash, suggesting that a natural catastrophe had put an end to a human settlement there, just as Pompeii, Herculaneum and Stabiae were destroyed and buried following the powerful eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in AD 79. The Palaeolithic site is notable for its a…
