Several cores were found on this site and painstakingly refitted back together. The flakes were found in a small area just where they fell thousands of years ago.

Different names are sometimes used to label a similar cultural tradition but it appears that the use of well made long narrow core blades began in Europe and expanded outward from there. Tracing the movement of Europe's Aurignacian into other countries for thousands of miles can be confusing. The European term Aurignacian is not always used in other countries. But the tradition of making large long narrow core blades continues to move eastward across Siberia eventually ending sometime around 22,000 years ago. The Aurignacian stone tool industry ends in Europe by about 29,000 years ago. This core measures approximately 3 inches (76mm) long. CORE WITH REFIT BLADE UPPER PALEOLITHIC-AURIGNACIAN SOLVIEUX SITE SOUTHERN FRANCE This core and a blade that was removed from it was excavated several years ago on an Aurignacian site in southern France. The type site of Aurignac in the south of France (Haute Garonne) is where the name Aurignacian originates. It also appears on some sites in the Levant (region around the eastern Mediterranean and the Aegean) and the tradition even continues far to the east into Siberia. This manufacturing technique or industry continued for approximately 5,000 years during the Upper Paleolithic Period in Europe. A main feature of Aurignacian is its heavy use of core and blade technology. How they lived is determined by the artifacts they left behind. AURIGNACIAN STONE TOOL INDUSTRY EUROPE to siberia UPPER PALEOLITHIC 34,000 TO 23,000 YEARS AGO Aurignacian is not a time or a place, but rather it's a name given to a particular way in which a society of people were living in Europe as early as 34,000 years ago. This site also contains the bones from woolly rhinoceros. Artifacts found on the Tolbaga site include projectile points made of bone and a variety of macro-blade edge-trimmed flake tools. The Russian archaeologist is pointing to the single habitation level, a Mal'ta-Afontova stratum, that dates to approximately 22,000 to 14,000 years ago.

Many different types of tools were made from these long narrow flakes of stone called blades. The most significant development in stone tool making is the refinement of the manufacture of blades struck off conical cores or nuculi.

Plus all forms of art appears at this time which signifies the full emergence of modern symbolic expression. People begin to use musical instruments which indicates possible ceremony, ritual and dance. During this period an explosion of sudden and innovative changes take place. The Aurignacian cultural tradition is generally accepted as the first modern humans in Europe. But there are no significant technological changes until the Upper Paleolithic.
