Abstract: |
This paper discusses the relationships among raw material use and the technology of microblade core production during the Late Paleolithic period in Primorsky Krai in Far East Russia. The study is based on a study of the Risovoe 1, Novovarvarovka 1, and Molodezhnaya 1 sites. The presence of particular microcore types links these new sites with others in Primorsky Krai and allies them chronologically to the Late Paleolithic, dated to around 8-13,000 B.P. These sites have yielded numerous stone artifacts made from various raw materials, most of which were obtained from local streams in the form of cobbles of different size.
