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...
Abstract
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...
There are two main research areas in the Neolithic studies of Baikal-Yenisei Siberia. One them relates to mortuary traditions, another with a hunter-gatherer’s campsites. Ceramics is greatest importance for cultural identification campsites complexes. As result Canadian-Russian project, burials clear chronological model based on AMS radiocarbon dates corrected freshwater reservoir effect (FRE) was created. several hypotheses ceramic complexes that were proposed, but all predominantly...

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.
Иркутский государственный университет, Россия 4 Институт археологических исследований АН РУз, УзбекистанАннотация.Приводятся новые данные по среднему палеолиту стоянки Кульбулак (слои 14-17).Технико-типологический анализ материалов дал основания полагать, что на Кульбулаке в погребенном состоянии зафиксированы древнейшие западе Центральной Азии проявления пластинчатого варианта среднего палеолита, который технологическом отношении ассоциируется с леваллуазским расщеплением.Вероятная...
The article presents the results of technological analysis Teshik-Tash grotto lithic collection from Kunstkamera funds (Saint Petersburg). Because industry has an indisputable anthropological link to Neanderthal population, which is unique for western part Central Asia, it important fully characterize repertoire this hominin species by studying collection. Using methods mathematical statistics, metric parameters artefacts were analyzed and technical typological homogeneity site complex...
Purpose. The term “archaeological frontier” was first applied to the Western Tien Shan about 10 years ago explain phenomenon of early appearance microblade knapping in Middle Paleolithic industries. Based on results a comparative analysis collections Obi-Rakhmat and Kulbulak materials from other synchronous monuments region, it suggested that Pamir-Tien could be zone competition between ecdemic population (blade technology bearers) autochthonous group (Neanderthals, bearers Teshiktashtype...

The Vilyui River valley is known for its various archaeological sites, which have been studied since the mid-20th century. To date, regional roadmaps cultural development of territory and typologies individual artifact categories developed using materials. main factor prompting exploration such remote areas threat their flooding associated with hydroelectric complex. In 2024, an expedition Institute Archaeology Ethnography SB RAS carried out excavations at sites located in flood zone...
The Chirchik River basin is one of key regions for studying loess-soil formations in Central Asia. One the most complete loess sections this area located Orkutsay sai on right bank stream having same name (Bostanlyk District, Tashkent Region, Republic Uzbekistan). It confined to a narrow watershed between valleys and its last major tributary, Ugam River. In 1980s, A.E. Dodonov discovered 16 fossil paleosols alternating with carbonated deposits. years, N.G. Mavlyanov recorded single...
The research of the Kuksaray-2 site with a minimally disturbed cultural-stratigraphic sequence was continued in 2024. According to paleogeographic reconstruction, layer 0 represents deposits formed during MIS 3, subsequently reworked by soil formation processes Holocene. Layer 1 also but less affected subsequent processes. 2 4. layers 3 and 4 were 5. collection 0, 1, is characterized symbiotic nature lithic industry. more homogeneous terms technology. Among cores technical spalls, products...
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,...
