Подано результати повного статистичного і техніко-типологічного аналізу кам'яних виробів з розкопу ІІ стоянки Королево ІІ.
In 1974 V. M. Gladilin opened the site Korolevo II,
located on a 20-meter terrace of the Tisza River left
bank, 300 m southwest of Korolevo I, on the Verjatsa
village northern outskirts. Materials come from
trench 1, excavated in 1978, and excavation II, investigated in 1981. Reconstruction analysis of the finds’ depth and
quantitative distribution revealed a certain movement of artifacts along the slope, possibly due to erosion
processes, which could have led to their mixing. The techno-typological analysis showed that the
collection is represented with components different time — Middle and Upper Paleolithic.
The Upper Paleolithic component is not numerous (14 %) and, probably, is related to the Upper Paleolithic
layers of the Korolevo II site. Middle Paleolithic collection amounts to 86 %. The
presence of all categories of artifacts in this complex indicates a complete cycle of knapped stone reduction
on the site. The industry is defined as non-Levallois, non-bladed, non-facetted. Indices: IF large = 25.6 %, IF
strict = 4.4 %, ILam = 4.8 %. The blank production was based on parallel, radial
and Kombewa methods of non-volumetric cores reduction. The main blank type is a flake with transverse
proportions with massive lateral edge or platform, sometimes with cortex. These flakes were often used as
blanks for tools producing. Tools are rare, but among them there are two special
examples of single-edged scrapers with the back and the working edge formed by semi-Quina retouch.
These characteristics may indicate the presence of individual characteristics of Charentian type Quina.
