Abstract
The article presents and discusses some of the data from comprehensive archeological and geological field investigations at one of the oldest Upper Paleolithic sites in Eastern Europe, – Zaozer’e, situated in the western foothills of the Middle Urals. Rich archeological material, radiocarbon-dated to around 33–34 14C ka, was uncovered from a well-defined cultural layer underneath a thick cover of loess. The artifact assemblage displays some typical Upper Paleolithic traits, such as an advanced blade technology and a bone/antler inventory. Of special importance are some personal ornaments, including perforated pendants of freshwater mollusks. This unique assemblage, which has no direct analogies in other known Paleolithic cultures, displays several classical Upper Paleolithic characteristics. However, some of the stone artifacts, especially the small bifacial tools, resemble finds from clear Middle Paleolithic contexts. This latter group of artifacts would fit well into Middle Paleolithic, Eastern Micoquian assemblages from Southeastern Europe. This, the assemblage from Zaozer’e site supports the idea that there was substantial continuity in stone technology across the boundary between the Middle and Upper Paleolithic in Eastern Europe.
