PALEOLITHIC OF DZUNGARIA (NORTHWEST CHINA) : BASED ON THE LOTOSHI SITE
The article analyzes the materials of the site with a surface occurrence of Lotoshi artifacts (Dzungaria, Northwestern China), discovered in 2004 by the research team of the joint Chinese-Russian-American archaeological expedition. Taking into account the degree of wind corrosion of the artefacts ' surfaces, a technical and typological analysis of the monument's collections was carried out. It was found that the complex is relatively homogeneous and is characterized by a combination of Levallois and lamellar subprismatic cleavage technologies. The materials of the Lotoshi locality have analogs in the industries of the Gorny Altai, Orkhon-1 and Tolbor-4 sites (Mongolia), as well as in the Shuidongou site complexes (Ordos), which belong to the initial stage of the Upper Paleolithic. Lotoshi is the first locality discovered in Northwestern China, which belongs to the area of lamellar cultures of the early Upper Paleolithic stage. All the currently identified cultural and genetic features connect this complex with the regions of southern Siberia and northern Central Asia. Keywords: China, the initial stage of the Upper Paleolithic, exposed complexes, stone technology. Introduction There are several regions in North and Central Asia where the Middle and Early Upper Paleolithic plate industries are represented. A spatiotemporal transgression is observed in the distribution of plate complexes from Gorny Altai - the westernmost region of their existence with the earliest assemblage dates-to Mongolia and Ordos - the eastern edge of their range. When reconstructing the distribution paths of Upper Paleolithic lamellar cultures, preference is clearly given to the northern route of movement of carriers of these technological traditions and / or their ideas along the mountain belt of Southern Siberia. However, the appearance of plate industries of the early Upper Paleolithic period in the center of Eurasia is not necessarily associated with the supposed migration of any populatio ... Read more
