Summary
In 1993 and 1994, archaeologists from the Institute of History , Archaeology and Ethnography of the People of the Far East (Vladivostok, Russia), Far Eastern State University (Vladivostok, Russia), and the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography (Novosibirsk, Russia) investigated a new pre-ceramic (12-11,000 years B.P.) site, Ustinovka-VI, in the Maritime Region (Primorie), of the Russian Far East. Even the preliminary results of the excavations permit an interpretation of the assemblage of the site as a technologically sophisticated example of the microblade industry typical for the Northeastern Paleolithic. The industry includes the combination of microblade, blade, biface, and burin techniques .
