Popis: International audience; In 2016—2018 a living complex dated to ca. 18,6 kyr cal BP was excavated at Kovrizhka IV site, level 2G. This is an ochercolored area of 5.0 m in diameter, with a semi-circular hearth lined by four slabs, and a massive slab surrounded with largeboulders and gneiss fragments. Slabs and boulders forming an arc were recorded on the periphery of the complex, and two pits(post-holes?) of 20 cm in diameter were found on the northern and southern outskirts. Based on use-wear analysis, 17 toolswere identified as meat knives, scrapers and carvers for bone, antler and skins. Their number and composition indicate ashort-term occupation. About 60 % of artifacts in the collection are of quartz, hence it is assumed that access to pebbleraw materials was seasonally limited. The three central stones in the hearth were heated to the temperature ranging from250 to 380—440 °C. The source of ocher is hematite of two types: quartz-hematite association and rock with a significantcontent of calcite, chlorite, feldspar and mica. A comparison with the ore compositions of the known iron locations andarchaeological sites showed that ocher was delivered from the north of Western and Eastern Baikal regions, situated morethan 500 km away from Kovrizhka. The available evidence points to the existence of a winter dwelling. The closest analogiesare known at the Transbaikalian sites of Studenoye–1 and 2, Ust-Menza–1 and 2, Sukhotino–4, etc.
