Abstract

The typological studies of lithic assemblages which are originated from three field objects are presented in this paper: dwelling N 1 made from mammoth bones; pit N 7; and, work-shop with a portion of cultural layer which is situated nearby. These assemblages demonstrate a pronounced diversity of main typological indexes. The cores and large pieces of flint, blades and some tools (end-scrapers) were kept just in dwelling. At the same time, the remains of debitage and by-products of some tools modification (burin spalls) are more numerous in the pit and work-shop. Also, the pit and work-shop are characterized by the higher percentage of backed microliths, including the types with diagnostic projectile impact fracture as well as the burins with several working edges.
