Abstract

Research work resumed in South Chamber of Denisova cave in Altai requires a complete introduction of previously obtained collections into scientific use and the refinement of the techno-typological characteristics in these stone tool industries. This publication presents the results of a technical and typological analysis of stone industries from layers 22-19 and 14 in the mouth area of the southern chamber. The initial stages of the settlement of the cave characterize materials from the upper part of layer 22 and from layer 21, which were formed during the periods of MIS 8 and MIS 7, respectively. These industries are characterized mainly by radial splitting, various types of toothed, notched, spinous tools and scrapers, an abundance of chips with ventral upholstery of the longitudinal edges and with a remote residual impact platform. Further development of the Middle Paleolithic is reflected in the materials materials from layers 20, 19 and 14, which were most likely formed at the end of MIS 6 and in the first half of MIS 5 after a break in sedimentation. In the industries of this time, planar parallel and radial cores were distributed. A small series presents Levallois cores for flakes and plates. In the tool set against the background of the predominance of different types of the scraper, a well-pronounced gear-notched component is preserved. There are products of the Upper Paleolithic group.
