SOME PROBLEMS OF STUDIES OF MICROBLADE PERCUSSION IN THE EARLY UPPER PALEOLITHIC OF NORTHERN MONGOLIA
Abstract
The subject of this research is the technology of micropercussion in the complexes of the Early Upper Paleolithic of Northern Mongolia. In this context the micropercussion is regarded as the total set of stone artifacts connected with the production of small blanks (microblades). This set includes microblade cores specially designed for the microblade production. They are not exhausted cores but a special group of microcores. Moreover, microblades and their fragments also belong to the micropercussion. There are no tools on microblades which could be studied in these complexes. It should be mentioned that until the present time micropercussion as the special direction in lithic technology of the Early Upper Paleolithic in Mongolia was not examined. So, this is one more effort to trace the existence of micropercussion on the early stages of the Upper Paleolithic (37-26,000 BP) on the base of materials from Northern Mongolia. It is concluded that on the territory of modern Mongolia the preference was given to the narrow front and wedge-shape micropercussion, in contrast with western regions of Central Asia where carene type of micropercussion was dominating.
