38 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. IIO 



burins. Bone points, spindle-shaped, similar to those from Veselogore 

 were also found. 



102. Afrikanova Melnitsa. — Traces of an apparently Upper Paleo- 

 lithic site were found near Rogalik-IAkimovskaia at the confluence 

 of the Evsug River and the northern Donets. This site is located on 

 the slope of the high right bank of the Evsug near the mill. The 

 worked flints do not lie deep. According to S. A. Loktiushev, the 

 finds consist of objects similar to those found in Krinichnaia ravine, 

 including burins, scrapers, and knife-shaped laminae. 



103. Beregovaia. — In the vicinity of Rogalik farm (see No. 106) 

 in the midstream of Evsug River near its confluence with the Donets 

 north of Voroshilovgrad [formerly Lugansk], several flint imple- 

 ments, including two small round scrapers, were found. This station 

 apparently represents the same period [Azilian] as that of Rogalik- 

 IAkimovskaia. (See No. 106.) 



104. Veselogore. — On a sand bar on the right bank of the Donets, 

 15 kilometers from Voroshilovgrad, near this village was found 

 accidentally a bone javelin-head of Magdalenian type associated with 

 the bones of mammoth, rhinoceros. Bos, horse, etc. 



105. Krinichnaia Balka. — This Upper Paleolithic station, investi- 

 gated in 1936, stands on the slope of the high right bank of the river 

 Evsug near its confluence with the northern Donets. At a point 

 360 m. southwest of the station of Rogalik-IAkimovskaia (No. 106) 

 were found during 1936 burins, scrapers, knife-shaped laminae, nuclei, 

 and other implements of Rogalik type. 



106. Rogalik-IAkimovskaia. — This typologically Azilian site near 

 Rogalik farm lies on the high right bank of the Evsug River at its 

 confluence with the northern Donets, 35 kilometers northeast of 

 Voroshilovgrad [formerly Lugansk]. This station, discovered in 

 1926 by S. A. Loktiushev, was investigated in 1927, 1928, 1933, and 

 1936. The cultural remains, located on the right slope of the lAki- 

 movskaia ravine, lie mainly in sandy loam with a slight admixture 

 of humus, at a depth of 1.86 m. The animal bones were mainly Equus, 

 and there were some marine Mollusca. Among the flint tools, which 

 resemble closely those found in the upper horizon of Borshevo II, 

 were such true geometric forms as trapezoids. 



107. Sheishinova Balka. — During 1936 traces of this Upper Paleo- 

 lithic site were found at the confluence of the Evsug with the northern 

 Donets in Sheishinova ravine near Rogalik farm. The flint imple- 

 ments, from a depth of 0.25-0.60 m., were similar to those from 

 Rogalik-IAkimovskaia (No. 106). 



108. Shchurovka. — Mammoth bones and several worked flints.
