Résumé : The territory of Kazakhstan is characterised by unique climatic conditions, marked by sharp continentality and heightened aridity. Under such circumstances, the majority of archaeological sites lithic artefacts scattered on the surface, with no cultural layer preserved beneath sterile strata. As a result, the discovery of stratified sites in Kazakhstan is considered a rare and valuable event for researchers. Recently, stratified Upper Palaeolithic sites have been discovered in southern Kazakhstan. Our studies of these sites provide reliable insights into the palaeoenvironment of the region, the specific features of subsistence activities based on lithic industries, and identifies further research opportunities.
