Abstract
In the course of stationary research of the Tolbor-15 multilayer site in 2009-2011 (Selenga River basin, Northern Mongolia) the early signs of micro blade techniques were revealed in Paleolithic horizons, while in the upper horizons dating back to the early Holocene fragments of neolithic ceramics were discovered . The paper considers circumstances and context of these archaeological finds; for the first time determines the age of these ceramics with radiocarbon dating method .
