Description
Summary:The article presents a comprehensive analysis of the Upper Paleolithic site Radomyshl I. The previously known ideas and views about this site are revised. Information about the cultural layer, the composition of the faunal collection and the spatial distribution of the bones are discussed. The composition of the lithic collection of this site, its technological features and typological statistics are analyzed in detail. The ascertainment of technological similarity to the Gravettian technocomplex, the typological originality, and possible chronological limit offers a new perspective on the site. Taken together our new data makes it possible to offer a new interpretation of the structure of Radomyshl I and its economic specialization.
