Результаты исследований стоянки Ходжа-Гор в полевом сезоне 2018 г

In the latest decade, an active study has been conducted of the complexes of the final Pleistocene –Early Holocene in the territory of the Pamir-Alai within the framework of large-scale work of the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography of the SB RAS in collaboration with local scientific centers. The latest research results allowed revising the cultural and chronological attribution of a number of key complexes and highlighting the Kulbulak culture and the Tutkaul line of development [Kolobova, 2014; Schneider, 2015]. Nevertheless, some of the objects known from the Soviet period have not yet been introduced into scientific circulation. In 2018, a field study was conducted of one of such objects – the Khoja-Gore site. During the work on the site, a representative collection of stone artifacts was collected, a geomorphological description of the site was made, and a series of samples were selected for OSL dating. Preliminary results allow us to change the existing cultural and chronological interpretation of the complex: at present, the industry of the Khoja-Gore sire is regarded as belonging to the Early Holocene period of the studied region. The closest technological analogies are highlighted in the Obishir-5 and Obishir-1 sites.
