Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the interpretation of findings of pumice objects from the site of Kovrizhka III, the Baikal-Patom Highland, East Siberia). The assemblage of the 2nd cultural horizon of Kovrizhka III dates to the Final Pleistocene, about 11 000 years BP. Analytical methods revealed the origin of pumice from the Udokan volcanic field situated 500 km away from the archaeological site. This fact is indicative of a high mobility of the Late Palaeolithic populations of the region and their ability to obtain and transport resources from very remote sources.
