Journal Title: Матеріали і дослідження з археології Прикарпаття і Волині - Year 2016, Vol 20, Issue
Abstract
Preliminary results of new researches of Kulychivka site carried out by the joint Ukrainian-Czech expedition in 2015 are presented at the article. Attention is focused on materials from the cultural layer IV. The results of studying of collection of flint artifacts from the excavations, carried out by V. Savych in 1984. Based on the refitting of artifacts conclusions are made about some features of flint industry of layer IV, including the serial production of elongated Levallois points from the convergent bidirectional and opposed directional cores. Using of this method is a feature of collections of Stránská Skála and Boker-Tachtit layers 1–3. Also radiocarbon dates obtained from samples of charcoal from the pit in 2015 are presented. Two dates are obtained – 41350±770 cal. BP (from the bottom) and 37100±840 cal. BP (from the top) of deposits that correlate with the level of layer IV of excavation of V. Savych. Compliance of chronological sequence of received dates with stratigraphic order horizons, from which samples were selected, according to the authors, denies the possibility of a significant disturbance of deposits during the period after the formation of the cultural layer. Results of technological and chronological analysis confirm the hypothesis about the belonging of the complex of layer IV of Kulychivka to the wide Emiro-Bohunician techno-complex. They also show a relatively “clean” character of collections of layers III and IV of Kulychivka and possibility to use them as a reliable source for studying of the transition between Middle and Late Paleolithic in Eastern Central Europe. To clarify further the position of Kulychivka between sites, close at the cultural and chronological aspects is necessary to restore fieldworks on the site using modern methods of archeology and natural sciences.
