- Аннотация: Abstract. We have studied a sample of 18 flint artifacts from different horizons of layers 7 and 8 (13-16 kya) in Sosruko grotto, located in the Elbrus region. Data on morphology and chemical composition was obtained using an Olympus BX-51 metallographic microscope and a Tescan Vega II scanning electron microscope with a device for energy dispersive analysis. Our research shows that optical microscopy indicates structural and textural inhomogeneities associated with flint formation. The morphology of all samples looks similar at a low magnification, but differs markedly at a high magnification due to the presence of various inclusions. The data was correlated with the previously obtained results for flint outcrops in the region. On the basis of this research we make suggestions about possible flint sources that were exploited by Epipaleolithic hunter-gatherers in different periods of the site occupation.
