Selemdzhinskaya culture - Paleolithic culture of Siberia ( Amur region ). It was isolated in the 1980s according to the results of a study of a series of monuments located in the Selemdzhi river basin (the left tributary of the Zeya river) [1] . It existed 25-10.5 thousand years ago. Selemdzhinskaya culture was highlighted after research in the 1980s of 15 monuments in the Selemdzhi river basin: Abaykan, Barkasnaya Sopka-I-II, Vedyaginskaya Sopka, Vedyaginsky Klyuch, Garskaya Protoka-1-II, Zmeinaya Sopka, Pologaya Sopka, Stvor 53, Ust- Ulm-І-ІІІ [2] . Selemdzhinskaya culture is divided into 4 stages in the period [ which one? ] . The stone cultural inventory is characterized by a combination of end, wedge-shaped, prismatic micronuclei, as well as options for the subprismatic splitting of pebble raw materials. The toolkit includes bifaces, scrapers, scrapers, incisors, various tools on retouched plates and flakes, etc. Ceramics , which is designated in the publications as belonging to the Selemdzhin culture, are identified in the Ust-Ulm-1 monument in layers of the fourth stage of the Selemdzhinsk culture dating back to the age of 12000 —10,500 l. n Radiocarbon analysis of the organic component of the molding material of this ceramic gave dates in the range of 8900 - 12,590 l. n The stone inventory of the fourth stage includes nuclei: one- and two-site parallel removal principle, end-face one- and two-sided, wedge-shaped, various disk-like nuclei, microprismatic nuclei. The fourth (and partly third) stages of the Selemdzhin culture are synchronous to the Osipov and Gromatukhin complexes [3] .
Carriers of culture are associated with the ancestors of the Yukagirs , who carried out the recolonization of the Siberian Arctic at the beginning of the Holocene (after the ice age) [4] . Artifacts are represented by stone chopping tools and scrapers [5] .
