Abstract

Problems of the origin and nature of the modern human behavior are among the most important and debated issues in the contemporary studies dealing with human evolution. This paper contains material from the complex of archaeological sites from the initial stage of the Upper Palaeolith in Siberia, showing various forms of symbolic activity. In general, the artifacts demonstrate the presence of the earliest technologically and typologically complex of subjects with an established system of manufacturing and processing, embodied in a series of stylistically consistent items. Siberian materials look quite correct in stadial and territorial context.
