Дубоссарский раннепалеолитический комплекс на территории Приднестровья
Dubossary Complex of the Early Palaeolithic period on the territory of Transnistria

Summary/Abstract: In the present paper, the author distinguished a specific version of the Early Palaeolithic – “Dubossary Complex”, which includes the sites Pohrebya and Bolshoi Fontan sites, as well as and Bairaki multi-stratified site. All these sites are located near the town Dubossary on terrace VII of the Nistru river. Complex interdisciplinary research made possible the dating of these sites as belonging to Mindelian and Kromerian periods (450-750 thousand years ago). The presence in the collections of some expressive forms of processed pebbles, including choppers, and rough bifacial tools allow the assignment of these industries to the Early Acheulean one. “Dârjov culture” in southern Romania can be considered the closest analogy of this complex.
