The most ancient cultural deposits at the Anzhevsk complex of archaeological sites: review of 2015 rescue excavation campaign

The rescue archaeological excavation were conducted in terms of measures for archaeological heritage preservation in the area of highway engineering near Kansk in 2015. Sites Nefteprovod-1 and Nefteprovod-2 fixed cultural stratum, stratigraphic position and archaeological objects, which indicates that it belongs to the earliest stages of this territory occupation. The complex geomorphology of the studied area and the nature of the Quaternary sediments define the different conditions in bedding of human activity remains. Archaeological excavations have revealed different stratigraphy landslide bodies, covered a single subaerial complex. The depth of the artifact bedding increases in the areas of backing commissure between landslide bodies. A small recessed portions of the cultural layer is observed in the rear seam at the base of the second altiplanation terrace - the most high and steep slope within an archaeological excavation. Most of the artifact bedding in the oldest cultural layer connected to the contact layers of dark brown sandy loam and dun sands, the underlying layer of the Neolithic, Bronze Age, rich fragments of pottery. A number of features allows associate the stone artifacts found here with the materials of the Late Paleolithic. The largest category in the stone industry is flakes and unretouched blades. Sometimes we fixed a convex dihedral platforms of the flakes in archaic industry. Obtained cores mostly represented the unidirectional forms with one or two flaking surface. The tool assemblage containes a single side-scrapers, end-scrapers, angle burins, knives and bifacial tools. The focus is on applications of stone artifacts, found with the reindeer bones.
