Late Paleolithic of the Maritime Region after LGM

open access: yesProblems of Archaeology, Ethnography, Anthropology of Siberia and Neighboring Territories, 2021
Paleolithic sites in the Russian Primorye appeared not earlier than 18,000 cal. BP. In the territories to the south and southwest, there are a large number of sites with microblade industries dating back to the time before the beginning of LGM. The largest number of dated sites falls at the beginning of LGM (24,000-20,000 cal. BP).
