Abstract

The remains of a Mousterian cultural layer were found on the solifluction horizon at kolodiiv, Ukraine, separating two Early Vistulian palaeosols. The geological position of the finds and the typological characteristics of the assemblage allow us to refer this site to the bifacial techniques of the "East-Micoquian Route of Development".
