Abstract:

The Halich 1 site, discovered in 1988, was first excavated in the year 2000. The site has yielded 151 mammoth bones and 105 flint artefacts. The cultural materials date between 24 ky and 14 ky, and may be connected with Epigravettian culture. Halich was probably a mammoth-butchering locus or a kill-butchering site.
