Abstract

he article presents the analysis results of the stone industry of the Neolithic dwelling on the Lower Amur island of Suchu (excavation I, 1975). The collection of artifacts totals 2,082 copies. The raw material base of the stone inventory consists mainly of sedimentary (siltstones, argillites, sandstones), magmatic (effusive) and siliceous (flint, jasper, chalcedony, quartzite) rocks.

The technology of primary splitting in the stone industry of the dwelling is characterized mainly by end wedge-shaped and subprismatic, and also single-pencil-like nucleuses. In the gun kit, throwing (arrowheads, darts), cutting (knives, liner), sawing, chopping and combing tools, scrapers of various modifications, and also piercings were noted.

The fishing sinkers, the tops of the clubs, and the stone with the holes are represented by single specimens. Morphotypological and technical and technological analyses allow determining the probable cultural and chronological affiliation of the complex, primarily the Middle Neolithic Malyshevskaya and Late Neolithic ascension cultures, as evidenced by the main massifs of ceramics from the materials of the dwelling.
