in 1926 and 1927. In 1928 these sites were examined by G. F. Mir- 

 chink and V. I. Gromov in connection with the study of the terraces 

 of the Yenisei. Biriusa I consisted of three Paleolithic strata lying 

 on the spring-flooded terrace in 2.0 m. of yellow-grayish clay and 

 sand. In the stratum representing the transition from the Paleolithic 

 to the Early Neolithic were found stone implements including nuclei 

 and flakes, and crushed bones of such animals as the large Bos, north- 

 ern deer, horse, noble deer, mountain sheep, wolf, and hare. The 

 upper horizon consisted of an accumulation of large stones and ashes. 

 Here were found stone tools, as well as implements made of bone, 

 such as needles and points. Included in the fauna were the northern 

 deer. Bos, hare, mountain sheep, roe deer, and horse. 



233. Bugach. — This site stands on the left bank of the Kacha River, 

 a left tributary of the Yenisei near its confluence with the Bugach 

 River, i kilometer northeast of Krasnoiarsk. Bugach was discovered 

 by G. P. Sosnovskii in 1919 and investigated by him in 1923. The 

 cultural stratum with hearths, flint implements, and flakes was fouund 

 at a depth of i.o m. in the loessy clay on the first terrace, which is 

 flooded during the spring high water. The fauna included the Arctic 

 fox, northern deer, hare, and other forms. 



234. Busimova. — This group of Paleolithic sites is located on the 

 terrace situated above spring high water on the right bank of the 

 Yenisei, 55 kilometers downstream from Minusinsk. The cultural 

 remains were discovered during 1920 at two points, one above the 

 other below Buzunova. The stone tools and flakes and the fragments 

 of a bone tip were found by G. P. Sosnovskii in 1923 in the hearth 

 level at a depth of 5.5 m. in loessy clay on the right side of the con- 

 fluence with the river gully. V. I. Gromov and N. K. Auerbakh 

 accumulated new surface material in 1925 from the site above 

 Buzunova. 



235. Voennyi Gorodok. — This Paleolithic site on the left bank of 

 the Yenisei, 4 kilometers downstream from Krasnoiarsk near the 

 second Korovii Log, was discovered in 191 1 by A. lA. Tugarinov 

 and A. P. Ermolaev and investigated by G. P. Sosnovskii in 1919 and 

 1923 and by V. I. Gromov in 1928. The cultural stratum lies in the 

 loessy clay sand deposits at depths of 2.0 and 4.0-6.0 m. Associated 

 with the stone tools and flakes were implements made of horn and 

 bone. Represented in the fauna were mammoth, northern deer, Arctic 

 fox, wolf, and horse. 



236. Dolgova.- — Stone implements were found in 1885 by I. T. 

 Savenkov at this new settlement near the Chernaia Sopka. Bones of
