Abstract Faecal biomarkers are used to trace and identify the source of faecal matter at various types archaeological sites. Until now, focus has been centred on humans domesticated animals. However, in caves, it's wild animals that play a role deposition organic matter. To assess participation such sites through molecular markers it is crucial recognize their biomolecular signature. We developed database profiles 14 species modern wildlife assessed common ratios for recognizing proposed an...
The paper presents the results of multidisciplinary studies on open-air loess site Katta Sai 2 located in western piedmonts Tian Shan Uzbekistan. Two archaeological horizons contain features associated with Initial Upper Palaeolithic (IUP) - both Levallois and blade/bladelet volumetric technology, together an toolkit. cultural traits observed might have local roots dating back to MIS 5a can be found so-called Obirakhmatian technocomplex determined several sites region. Thus, obtained...
This study describes a multi-proxy approach toward newly discovered open-air loess site, Ertash Sai 2, located in the western piedmonts of Tian Shan Uzbekistan. Technological analyzes enabled identification an asymmetric core reduction scheme accompanied by Levallois-like predetermined knapping scheme, along with production truncated-faceted pieces and burin-cores. Moreover, results show direct relationship between presence or burin-cores both schemes, as long were mostly produced from...
This paper aims to reconstruct the general knapping scheme in Katta Sai 1 assemblage dated around 40 kya. The site was excavated within a large -scale fieldwork project of interdisciplinary studies on Middle Paleolithic settlements western Tian Shan piedmont. technological analyses allow identification new variant human adaptation regional Paleolithic. locally -collected river pebbles were knapped using predetermined Levallois core reduction scheme. Although some volumetric features can be...
ABSTRACT The Western Tian Shan piedmont, due to its high mountainous nature, is an exceptionally difficult area in which conduct systematic surface research. In response the specificities of landscape, we decided attempt use predictive modelling select sites with greatest potential for occurrence and preservation Pleistocene layers Palaeolithic sites. aim project was determine what extent high‐mountain areas piedmont were penetrated inhabited by humans. On basis devised model, selected...
This article presents preliminary results from mountain survey in the Chatkal Range western Tian Shan piedmonts, eastern Uzbekistan. In 2021, several new Palaeolithic sites were discovered, including a single, multi-layered, open-air site—Kuksaray 2—located near flint outcrop. The authors’ initial investigations have recovered stone tool assemblage containing tools displaying both Middle and Initial Upper characteristics.
The article deals with the history of study Paleolithic sites in Akhangaran river valley (Eastern Uzbekistan) as well data obtained from current research cycle. There are three zones concentration archaeological objects valley, on basis materials which it is possible to get an idea peculiarities development foothills and lowlands Tien Shan. most studied Chatkal range (Kulbulak, Kyzyl-Alma, Gyshtsay-1 etc.) confluence Dukentsay Kattasai rivers (Kattasay-1, 2). As a result survey recent years,...
The Polish archaeologist Stefan Krukowski stayed in Georgia from 1916 to 1918. During that time, apart carrying out a comprehensive excavation Gvarjilas Klde Cave, he also performed test digs other Caucasian cave sites, the materials which are still stored Georgian National Museum Tbilisi but have never been published. In this paper these inventories analysed and presented as side note recently published book on results of Krukowski’s field research Klde.
