Stone tools from the Cherepakha-7 site of Yankovskaya culture

The article presents the results of the stone tools analysis from the now fully excavated Cherepakha-7 site of Yankovskaya archeological culture. The authors identify the categories of artifacts that reflect the complex nature of the settlement's economic life, in which marine fishing played an important role. Particular attention is paid to the stages of the technological cycle of tool-making, including the selection of resources, primary and secondary processing, as well as the adjustment and reworking of broken tools. The identified typological and technological features of the stone tools supplement and enhance our knowledge about the stone industry of Yankovskaya culture.
