YAMPIL – A NEW UPPER PALAEOLITHIC SITE OF NORTHERN PODILLIA
Journal Title: Матеріали і дослідження з археології Прикарпаття і Волині - Year 2016, Vol 20, Issue
Abstract
Upper Paleolithic site of Yampil is associated with over-Dubno loess (MIS 2) of well-stratified section of loess-soil series of Northern Podillia. In this section, deposits of Middle and Upper Pleistocene are represented. Horokhiv fossil soil complex (MIS 5) is presented most clearly. It is developed partly in the ancient deepening that influenced its formation and good preservation. In the one of stage soils of Horokhiv complex fossil faunal remains of mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius (?) Blum., 1799) and numerous pieces of charcoal were discovered. There is a great potential of finding of Middle Paleolithic cultural horizon here. Upper Paleolithic cultural horizon is represented by collection, which consists of 12 flakes knapped from two cores. Analysis of archaeological material witnessed that this developed prismatic industry of Upper Paleolithic, most likely, belonged to its second half, that corresponds to stratigraphic position of over-Dubno loess. For the deposits of Yampil the series of dates was obtained by methods of TL and OSL-analysis. Probable period of habitation of Upper Paleolithic population on this territory corresponds to interval between 29,9±5,3 – 26,2±4,6 kyr. BP (by TL-dating) and 25,6±4,6 – 23,2±4,1 kyr. BP (by OSL-dating). The closest stratigraphic and chronological analogues for the excavated sites are second and third cultural layers of Lypa VI site.
