The workshop was uncovered by E.B. Bizhanov in 1978. Surface finds were scattered over an area measuring 200 \u00d7 100 m. The collection includes more than 900 lithic finds. One part of them are flinty limestone plates, the other part includes flakes obtained from them. The size of the plates is mostly within 5\u201310 cm (sometimes bigger), the thickness is on average 1.5-2 cm. The length of most flakes is 2\u20133 cm (sometimes up to 5 cm). A series of bifacially processed tools was also revealed at the site. E.B. Bizhanov noted different degrees of preservation of artefact surfaces (the collection has not been studied in detail); all of the objects were attributed to the Acheulian. In this article, the author employs the technical and typological method as well as the \u201cdeflation rate\u201d method (Derevianko et al., 2000, p. 204) to divide the artifacts from the site into three complexes. These are: Early Paleolithic including 86 items with strong surface deflation; Middle Paleolithic including 703 items with desert tan on the surface, in terms of cultural features they are included in the bifacial faction; and Late Paleolithic \u2013 44 items which only have a patina.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DOI: <\/strong>10.31857\/S0869606324030011, <strong>EDN: <\/strong>XAMDVD<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Berik D.
