i\.S.S.I\. The cultural stratum can be clearly seen. The fauna con- 

 sisted (jf Siberian rhinoceros, European bis(jn, n(jrthcrn deer, Arctic 

 fox, and other forms. The few worked flints and flakes were of dark 

 Cretaceous flint unknown in this vicinity and only occurring about 

 120-150 kilometers distant. This Upi)er Paleolithic site, a type of 

 hunting camj) remote from permanent habitation, was excavated by 

 S. N. llibikov during 1938. 



98. Ust-Katav. — During 1937 S. N. r»il)ik(jv fouml a considerable

loi. Avnrosicvka. — Of special interest was this Upper Paleolithic 

 site, apparently Magdalenian, near Amvrosievka, Donets region, in 

 the upper part of the Kazennaia ravine, on the right bank of the 

 Krinka River and 2 kilometers distant. Discovered during 1935, this 

 site was investigated in 1936 by the Museum of the Study of the 

 Region in Stalino. Many worked flints were found on the gully 

 slopes over an area of 6 hectares. The finds resemble the flint in- 

 ventory of Kostenki II and III, Eliseevichi, and the Magdalenian 

 sites along the left bank of the Dniester. The predominant tools were 

 burins. There were also a large quantity of nuclei, indicating that 

 this was an atelier. The finds were not concentrated on some par- 

 ticular level, but could be found from the surface to a depth of 1.25 m. 

 into the loesslike loam. Probably to some later period belong the 

 large cami)fire and the accumulation of cultural remains, mainly bones 

 of the European bison (Bison priscus), no less than 300 animals 

 being scattered over 40 square meters of the excavation. I'Unt in- 

 ventories here differ from those mentioned above in the absence of
