Archaeological investigation of the location of the Stone Age monument «Khatki»
Journal Title: Eminak - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
In spring of 2016 archaeological investigation of the location of the Stone Age lodges was conducted. The monument is located near the village Khatki in Skadovsk district, Kherson region. The camp was founded in 1986 and in 1987 surveyed by N.P. Olenkovskiy. The location is localized at 0,3 km North of the eponymous village on the Western and North-Western slope side of the steppe saucers (sci). Collected archaeological material consisted of flint items (42 items) and presumably dates from the Mesolithic-Neolithic. Excavations of the monument were not carried out. Perhaps the monument was a small area for short time camp of the late stone age (Mesolithic, Neolithic). A small amount of flint products, and also abnormally high percentage of products from secondary processing, which in turn indicates a lack of raw materials (chert) points about the brevity of the monument. At inspection of the territory of the monument in 2016, a fragment of retouched products (scraper?) from the flint was discovered. The product is discovered at the bottom of the Northern slope of the sides of the pod, almost at the bottom. On the expected square of the monument was carried out trenching (two trenches 1x1). During trenching surface cultural layer were not detected. Thus, we can assume that: 1) Cultural layer in the West and the North-Western slope of the hearth is now completely destroyed, and the archaeological material collected during the previous fundraising; 2) The cultural layer of the monument lies at a sufficient depth, and consequently, the archaeological material does not fall on the modern ground surface; 3) Parking was located on the North-Eastern outskirts of the village under the estates of local residents. In the construction of houses cultural layer has been completely or partially destroyed.
