Gilbert . – Tbilisi, 2013 .The territory located between the lower valleys of the Dniester and Dnieper, the biggest rivers of the northwestern Black Sea region, is traditionally viewed as the embodiment of the most typical features of the inner Pontic steppes,their paleogeography, and landscapes. This region demonstrates the most characteristic features of the exploitation system for life in the steppes. Moreover, it occupied space where the continuity of economy and the evolution of ethnic culture was displayed in the fullest measure during the entire Mesolithic, demonstrating no clear tendencies toward the transition to a productive economy even in its most recent phases.enLower DniesterLower Dnieperhuman adaptationBorealAnetivkaGrebenikiArticle
