Digital Library of Periodicals of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine| Summary: | The sites of Myrohoshcha I, Hriadky, Zhorniv, and Chervonyi
Kamin are located in the central part of the Volhynian loess
Plateau in north-western Ukraine. The assemblages, known
from excavations and surface collections, exhibit a number of
characteristics, which are traditionally seen to be indicative of
different periods. Therefore, these assemblages were thought
to represent palimpsests of Middle and Upper Paleolithic
occupations. In 2018, these assemblages have been reviewed.
At Myrohoshcha I, the old trench could be located and new
excavations were carried out. In this paper, the results of the
excavations from 2018 as well as preliminary notes on the
campaign of 2019 are presented and the technological and
typological characteristics of the assemblages are discussed.
By demonstrating the repeated and consistent combination of
specific and characteristic features, it is considered that these
assemblages are neither mixed nor representative of a long
settlement history. Instead, they rather seem to represent a
coherent set of features, probably characteristic for the period
roughly between 35 and 30 kyr cal BP. |
