metadata.value: The article introduces into the scholarship the collection of findings of prehistoric material
  culture obtained at Bestamak during the stationary studies of 2001 field season. The total
  area of the archaeological site is 260,000 m2. It was excavated by Turgay expedition in the
  1980s. Bestamak settlement is situated on the Turgay trough connecting the West Siberian
  and Turan plains. In the west, the Turgay trough is bounded by the Trans-Ural Plateau; in the
  east — by the Kazakh upland and spurs of the Ulutau mountains. Natural and geographical
  features of Turgay trough allow for their cultural layers to mainly contain diachronous material,
  with Bestamak serving as an example. Due to this specificity, the collections of stone
  industry discovered in the monuments of the Turgay trough should be studied on the basis of
  technical and typological analysis, the main parameters of which being products of primary
  cleavage; morphological parameters of the plates, the size of plates and tools on the plates; percentage
  ratio of ingots and tools from plates and rock flakes; secondary processing methods;
  typological composition of tool kit. The composition of raw materials is used as an independent
  indicator. In the course of the research, the author concluded that the primary cleavage,
  nuclei “rejuvenation” and secondary processing of blanks were performed on the site of the
  settlement. Judging by the results of the technical and typological analysis, the stone industry
  was deposited from the end of the Mesolithic-the Early Neolithic to the Late Eneolithic.
  The Neolithic stone industries, starting from the early and late Eneolithic, are predominant
  at Bestamak. The presence of Mesolithic and Early Eneolithic stone industries on the site is
  just an assumption. Fragments of ceramics and metal products suggest that people stayed at
  Bestamak until Late Bronze.
