History
This ancient monument was discovered in 1976 [1] by N. D. Praslov [2] . Several multilayered Paleolithic monuments have been studied in the Biryuchy Gully - seven Mousterian , five Late Paleolithic horizons and one Neolithic . [3] The sediment thickness of this archaeological site is more than 9 meters. Excavation works here were carried out during 1988-1992, and also in 2000-2004, in three distant sites (named 1, 2 and 3 , respectively ). In addition to archaeological work, a natural-scientific study was conducted to determine the absolute age of the monument, as well as the reconstruction of the environment and climate during the periods of residence of ancient people here.

The lowest Mousterian strata are between 42,000-40000 years BC, the age of the cultural layer with Late Paleolithic finds is estimated at 32,000-30000 BC. Bone remains belonging mainly to the bison, as well as to a deer and, possibly, a horse and a small antelope, were found mainly in the lower Mousterian horizons. Numerous flint products and ash spots were also found in these horizons. Cores , scrapers , scrapers, and genitalia were found here . The finds of the upper Mousterian horizons are also dominated by planar nuclei, scrapers, and various scrapers.
The products of the lower Mousterian horizons have analogies among similar monuments - Shlyakh in the Volga region , Belokuzminovka and Kurdyumovka in the Donbass , as well as Monasheskaya and Barakaevskaya caves in the North Caucasus . Products of the upper Mousterian horizons approach the monuments of the sites of Kalitvenka 1 in the Kamensky district of the Rostov region , as well as Antonovka 1 and 2 in the Donbass. [3]
