Key words: Paleolithic, Kalach Upland, workshop, quartzite, stone inventory, technique of flaking.
In 2008, investigations in the north of the Kalach Upland (south Middle Don, Voronezh oblast’) revealed the dwelling site and workshop of Belaya Gora. The occupation layer has been lost, and most of the finds are workpieces and production waste. The technique of quartzite flaking is represented by models of flat, crude prismatic and situational flaking, the workpieces include items with bilateral treatment, tall core scrapers and two-sided burins. The finds come from the layer of carbonized loess-like loam. The site must probably dates to the early Upper Paleolithic, and was connected with the primary working of quartzite and the initial stages of tool manufacture.
