40 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. IIO 



European bison and horse. The flint inventory is represented mainly 

 by burins and scrapers. Two bones awls were also found. The 

 material has not been published. 



1 14. Kaistrova Balka III. — Insignificant traces of a cultural stratum 

 in the loesslike clay occur on the left slope of the Kaistrova Balka, 

 slightly higher than Kaistrova Balka II. Traces of the European 

 bison constituted the only faunal material found. 



115. Kaistrova Balka IV. — A deposit with an accumulation of 

 flints was found on the left slope of Kaistrova Balka. This stratum 

 was stained red by infiltrations of iron oxides. 



116. Kirillovskaia. — A Lower Magdalenian site was discovered 

 in 1893 by V. V. Khvoiko on Kirillovskaia Street in Kiev. The lower 

 horizon of several strata yielded an accumulation of large campfires 

 and of bones and tusks of mammoth. This horizon lies on the surface 

 of the clays at the base of the ancient terrace beneath 22.0 m. of post- 

 glacial deposits. In addition to mammoth, woolly rhinoceros was 

 occasionally found. Among the few flint implements manufactured 

 from flakes, burins of accidental forms predominated. Khvoiko found 

 in the same horizon the fragment of a mammoth tusk covered with 

 stylized designs. This site was studied from 1893 to 1900. 



117. Kirillovskaia (upper horizon). — Discovered by V. V. Khvoiko 

 in 1897, this Upper Magdalenian station was investigated by him in 

 1897 and 1899. The cultural stratum, containing ashes and a few 

 charred animal bones, lay at the base of grayish-green sands, at a 

 depth of 11-16 m. The fauna included lion, wolverine, wolf, and 

 doubtful finds of hyena and mammoth. The flint inventory consisted 

 of many flakes and tools. 



118. Kovalskaia Balka (Krivoi Rog). — A quantity of flint imple- 

 ments and flakes, as well as mammoth bones, were found about 3 

 kilometers from Krivoi Rog near the confluence of the Saksagan 

 with the Ingul in Kovalskaia ravine i. 0-1.50 m. into the reddish clay. 

 Discovered by A. N. Pol, this site has not been investigated system- 

 atically. The gully is filled with the refuse from the neighboring mine. 



119. Maiorka. — This Upper Paleolithic (Magdalenian) station 

 stands on the right bank of the Dnieper, farther downstream than 

 Yamburg and Voloskoe, near Maiorka ravine. Found and investi- 

 gated by I. F. Levitskii during 1932, the cultural remains lay under 

 the thick loess at two points : at the mouth of Maiorka ravine at a 

 depth of 3.6 m. ; and higher than its mouth, at a depth of 2.5 m. on 

 the bank of the Dnieper, together with the bones of Bos. A few 

 implements were unearthed.
