Геометрические микролиты эпох палеолита - энеолита на памятниках Верхнего Дона
Geometric Microliths from the Palaeolithic-Eneolithic Sites of the Upper Don Region

Summary/Abstract: The paper provides an overview of geometric microliths ftom the Palaeolithic-Eneolithic assemblages of the Upper Don area. Most of the artefacts described in this paper have never been published before. The authors use technological and typological attribues to identify the cultural affinity and chronological position of the assemblages in question. It is suggested that the Upper Don was an area of contacts between representatives of different cultural traditions, including those that had their roots in the Dnieper and Volga regions. Starting with the Early Holocene it became also an area of contacts between the forest and steppe communities.
