with each other. Part were dugouts with the floor 0.6 m. deep. The 

 general planning of this settlement is slightly similar to that of 

 Kostenki I. 



67. Kostenki V. — This station lies deeper in Pokrovskii gully than 

 Kostenki I, which faces it on the right side of the gully. In the side 

 fork of the gully (the first from the mouth) are two Upper Paleo- 

 lithic sites, discovered by Efimenko during 1928. The first, located 

 in the lower part of the side gully near the brook, yielded a great 

 accumulation of mammoth bones and some flint implements. Since 

 the cultural stratum lies beneath the loess and Cretaceous crushed 

 pebbles, this monument should be attributed to the early phase of the 

 Upper Paleolithic. The second Upper Paleolithic site lies higher, on 

 the ascent of the elevation on Mirkina Mountain. 



68. Streletskaia. — Traces of an Upper Paleolithic site at the mouth 

 of Aleksandrovskii gully near Kostenki in Voronezh blast were 

 found on the right side of the gully opposite Kostenki IV on the low 

 terrace at the foot of the bank. Zamiatnin discovered here during 

 1927 typologically Upper Paleolithic flints and bones of mammoth. 

 Excavations made by P. P. Efimenko corroborated the discovery of 

 this site, which was presumably eroded, the result of being only 

 slightly above the waters of the Don. 



69. Telmanskaia Stoianka. — Situated in the fork of two gullies 

 before they reach the Don Valley, this site is located on Kolkhoz 

 "Telman." Discovered by A. N. Rogachev in 1936 and investigated 

 by S. N. Zamiatnin in 1937, the main excavation revealed a circular 

 dwelling of dugout type with the hearth near its entrance. The flint 

 inventory combines the typical Lower Solutrean implements (laurel- 

 leaf points) and Mousterian forms. In the fauna the mammoth pre- 

 dominated. Many implements were manufactured from bones. 



70. Shubnoc. — An accumulation of Quaternary animal bones were 

 excavated near this village in Voronezh Ob last about 15 kilometers 

 west of Ostrorozhsk. In addition to many bones of the mammoth and 

 horse, there were fewer of Bos primigenius and rhinoceros and a few 

 of Cervus elaphus and Cervus megaceros. At the outlets to the ravine 

 were solitary unretouched flints. This station was discovered by S. N. 

 Zamiatnin in 1925 and investigated by him in 1933. 



71. Gremiachec. — This Epipaleolithic ^"^ site stands on the right 

 bank of the Oka River opposite the mouth of its tributary, the 

 Zhizdra. Discovered and investigated by N. I. Bulychev at the end 

 of the 1890's, this station is situated on the sandy hill at the level of 

 the flood plain. The finds lay in the upper stratum of the loamy 



16 Attributed to the so-called "Sviderskian Phase" of the Epipaleolithic period.
