Complex analysis of the stone industries at the Kobuleti Early Holocene site

Abstract

The main subject of this paper is techno-typological and traceological analysis of the stone artifacts found as a result of archaeological excavations in the Kobuleti Early Holocene site. The novelty of the work consists in the fact that the study of the stone industries of this period has not yet was carried out on the territory of Adjara. The obtained results allow us to conclude that the site was a temporary camp of primeval hunters, where mainly the initial processing of meat and skin was carried out.
