of the Dnieper, near the Dnieper Dam, is situated at the mouth of 

 rioskaia Osokorivka ravine on the second loess terrace. Several 

 cultural liorizons were discovered in 1931 and investigated by I, F. 

 Levitskii during 1932. The lower stratum lies at a depth of 5.6 m. at 

 the base of the alluvio-diluvial deposits and apparently belongs to the 

 Magdalenian period. The three upper horizons, at a depth of 3.5 m. 

 in the alluvio-diluvial deposit and 2.0-2.5 m. in the loesslike clay, 

 are probably Azilian. The fauna included bison, horse, mammoth, 

 rhinoceros, beaver, etc. The flint inventory has not been published. 

 Some indications of the dwellings were found. 



121. Protasov lAr. — Traces of the Ujiper Paleolithic site were 

 found near the railroad station in Kiev. The finds were made at the 

 beginning of the 1890's during construction work 16.0 m. under the 

 loess. No further studies have been made. 



122. Sclisliche. — In 1900 Paleolithic flint imiilcmcnts and associated 

 fauna were discovered by N. I. Krishtafovich near Kanev, on the 

 right bank of the Dnieper. The flints and fauna lay under conditions 

 similar to those at Kirillovskaia (No. 116), where they were found 

 under the thick loess and sand deposits overlying moraine clays. 



123. Shalka. — In 1922 bones of mammoth and one flint tablet were 

 found near Skalka gorodishclie in the Kremenchug district. 



124. Vaiiiburg. — This Upper Paleolithic site stands on the right 

 bank of the Dnieper at the mouth of the Sura River. Discovered and 

 investigated by I. F. Levitskii in 1932. it is situated on the third 

 terrace, common for both the Dnieper and Sura Rivers. The first 

 horizon of the cultural remains lies in the loess clay at a depth of 

 1.5 m. Levitskii identified nine horizons, which arc attributed to the 

 Upper Magdalenian period. 



125. Voronezh. — This Paleolithic site was found near Glukhov 

 in the Chernigov region. The flints, collected some years ago by 

 .\bramov, are deposited in the Hermitage Museum. Leningrad. 



126. Dcgtiarcvo. — An accumulation of split mammoth bones was 

 '^covered in this village in the Novgorod-Sevcr.sk district while fenc- 

 •ig the church. 



127. iUr^jn.— This Paleolithic site, which stands on the right bank 

 of the Desna River downstream from Novgorod-Scversk. belongs 

 presumably to the end of the Solutrcan period. It is situated on the 

 left slope of the Mezin ravine not far from its merging with the Desna 

 X'allcy. In spite of long years of excavation the character of the 

 habitation remains unclear. As a result of excavations during k^oq 

 a dwelling in the form of shallow dugouts may have existed. Flint 

 and bone implements were richly represented. Included in the fauna
