Archaeological research on the Cheremushki II site (Krasnoyarsk reservoir)

In spring, 2016 there were archaeological researches on the Cheremushki II site, on the northern area of Krasnoyarsk reservoir. For today the site is almost destroyed but the part of cultural layer was founded in one of the three pits on the area of bank shoal. On the sandy clay bottom there were 20 archaeological items such as flakes, microblades and an obvious burin made on a flake-blade. Surface finds were recorded on the bank shallow. On the area about 3 500 stone tools were collected (cores for big flake-blades, wedge-shaped cores, side-scrapers on large flakes, end-scrapers, various pebble tools, blanks). A few faunal material represented with bones of bisons, horses, mammoth and reindeer. An inventory type allows to attribute the site to Kokorevo culture and date it at the late stage of Kokorevo culture.
