Summary/Abstract: The paper presents and analyzes the materials of new complex works carried ous at the Lower Palaeolithic (Acheulean) site of Ignatenkov Kutok situated at the foothills of the Northwestern Caucasus. It is argued that the site can be dated to the first half of the Middle Pleistocene, MIS 15-13, ca. 610—490 kya. The lithic inventory of the site belongs to the Middle Acheulean, as is evidenced by the presence of various modifications of picks, rough unstandardized bifaces-handaxes, as well as debitage products associated with a simple non-Levallois technology.
