Successful field work at the site Climăuţi IIin 1989 and 2017 allowed to identify the remains of a residential ground construction (complex 1), investigated in its entirety, and a small section of the ring conglomeration of bones, skull and mammoth tusk (complex 2), comparable to the „residential structure”. For the second complex, studied in 2017,...

The upper layer of Climăuţi II, located in the Middle Dniester, delivered many archaeological remains
relied to the first part of the upper Pleniglacial (between 20,500 and 20,000 BP). The lithic industry is
rich, dominated by scrapers, burins and blades, and presents epi-Aurignacian characters. From our
zooarchaeological analyzes we highlighted that this assembly was relatively quickly accumulated and little
affected by sediment movements. The woolly mammoth is the main species, probably as important food
resources, for ivory and as raw material to build structure. All the remains attest to various activities, as flint
knapping, hunting and butchering activities, also as bone working. It corresponds to an important camp
probably occupied several times during short-termed period. Compared to the rather contemporary sites
of the Dniester valley, Climăuţi II is a unique site in the region with a clear and important status accorded to
mammoth by Paleolithic human groups.
