Abstract
The article is devoted to the results of the study of Neporotovo 7 — a new multilayered Palaeolithic site in the Middle Dniester region, situated 20 km east of the site of Molodovo V. One Upper Palaeolithic (Gravettian?) and four Middle Palaeolithic horizons (AH 2, 3, 3а, 7) were identified in the loess sediments dated to the Upper and Middle Pleistocene. The thickness of the sediments is about 10 m. The collection from the uppermost Middle Palaeolithic layer (AH 2) shows features characteristic of a non-Levallois industry. The three underlying layers (AH 3, 3а and 7) belong to the Levallois techno-complex and have analogies with the Molodovo Levallois variant. The available evidence allows to conclude that this Levallois variant appeared in the Dniester valley earlier and existed longer (MIS 6 — MIS 3) than it has been thought before.
