[en] The paper examines the faunal record in the
Desna valley (Russia, Ukraine), a tributary of the
Dnieper, during the end of the second part of
the Upper Pleniglacial (20 000 – 14 000 BP). We
carried a zooarchaeological study of the large
mammal remains from Eliseevichi 1 excavated in
1935-36 by K.M. Polikarpovich (1968). Our aim is to
compare the results of this analysis with other sites
of the area during this period: Timonovka 1 and 2,
Suponevo, Bugorok, Buzhenka 2, Chulatovo 1 and
2, and Mezin.
