The obtained material is represented by various groups of finds including fragments of the lower jaw and teeth of horses, stone industry objects, and fragments of an arrowhead. The authors propose a preliminary interpretation of the identified location as a place for performing religious activities. The chronological heterogeneity of archaeological material from Tomskaya Pisanitsa indicates the long-term use of this sacred space by people.
