Скребки верхнепалеолитической стоянки Пушкари 1 (технико-типологический и трасологический анализ)
Endscrapers of the Upper Paleolithic site of Pushkary 1 (techno-typological and use-wear analysis)

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents a technical-typological and use wear analysis of a small tool sample from the Upper Paleolithic site of Pushkary in Desna region. For use-wear study, it was used one category of flint tools — endscrapers. A description of each of the studied tool is provided. Despite a common strong chemical weathering of surfaces of the flint tools during their laying in the site’s cultural layer, we have selected tool samples with less damaged surfaces for the use wear analysis. In the result, there were identified tools for processing bone, wood, hide, and meat, and recorded micro-traces of hafting.
