Abstract This publication presents data resulted from an analysis of the recent Middle and Upper Paleolithic archaeological evidence documented at Denisova Cave in the Russian Altai. A new phase in the study of the site is associated with the works undertaken in the East Chamber during 2004–2016. A long stratigraphic sequence exposed in this part of the cave, like the strata of Pleistocene deposits in the Main Chamber, has become a reference section for the study of prehistory in the region. A large collection of archaeological finds that quantitatively exceeds those recovered in previous years, new biostratigraphic and geochronological data obtained from Pleistocene deposits of the cave, make it possible to reconstruct the dynamics in the development of the Middle and Upper Paleolithic stone tool industries of the Altai on a qualitatively new level. The article presents the major techno-typological characteristics of the stone tool industries from the East Chamber, their stratigraphic, paleoecological and geochronological context. We show a correlation between the Paleolithic stone tool industries from the East Chamber and contemporary assemblages from the Main Chamber, as well as the cave entrance, and identify their place among other Paleolithic cave and open-air sites of the Altai. The continuity of a techno-typological sequence in the development of the stone tool industries from Denisova Cave and other stratified sites in the Altai and the emergence of the Upper Paleolithic from a local Middle Paleolithic tradition suggest that the stone tools and articles of personal adornment appear to have been produced by Denisovans. This conclusion is consistent with a complete lack of any fossil remains from anatomically modern humans in the Altai Paleolithic.

丹尼索瓦洞穴考古记录中阿尔泰旧石器时代工业的动态

摘要 本出版物提供的数据来自对俄罗斯阿尔泰丹尼索瓦洞穴中记录的最近旧石器时代中期和晚期考古证据的分析。该遗址研究的一个新阶段与 2004-2016 年在东厅进行的工程有关。洞穴这部分出露的长地层序列，如主室中的更新世沉积地层，已成为该地区史前研究的参考部分。大量考古发现的数量超过了前几年的发现，从洞穴的更新世沉积物中获得了新的生物地层和地质年​​代学数据，使阿尔泰中、上旧石器时代石器行业的发展动态在一个全新的水平上重建成为可能。本文介绍了东厅石器行业的主要技术类型特征、地层、古生态和地质年代背景。我们展示了东厅的旧石器时代石器工业与主厅的当代组合以及洞穴入口之间的相关性，并确定了它们在阿尔泰的其他旧石器时代洞穴和露天遗址中的位置。来自丹尼索瓦洞穴和阿尔泰其他分层遗址的石器工业发展的技术类型序列的连续性以及来自当地旧石器时代中期传统的旧石器时代晚期的出现表明石器和个人装饰品的出现由丹尼索瓦人生产。这一结论与阿尔泰旧石器时代完全缺乏解剖学上现代人类的任何化石遗骸是一致的。
