Sukhaya Mechetka, Paleolithic archaeological site in Volgograd, Russia.

The excavation area spans 650 square meters on the right bank of the Volga River, containing remains of five distinct prehistoric dwellings.

Artifacts from the Middle Paleolithic period include over 350 tools, cores, and approximately 10,000 flint and quartzite flakes dating to the Last Interglacial period.

The distribution patterns of flint and quartzite artifacts across the site indicate specialized zones where prehistoric inhabitants conducted different stages of tool production.

Located in the Vodstroy district, 7 kilometers from central Volgograd, the archaeological site maintains protected status under federal cultural heritage regulations.

Researchers discovered evidence of strategic resource management through the extensive processing of stone materials, with cores repurposed into tools due to raw material scarcity.
