The publication analyzes a lithic artifact from the exhibition of the Regional Museum of Local History of the city Semey. It is a core, which was discovered in 1928 during the construction of the Turkistan-Siberian Railway 3 km south of the isolated terrain feature of Altynkolat in a clay layer at a depth of 2 meters. The find is of such importance that, as noted by Khassan Alpysbaev, a leading expert on the Paleolithic of Kazakhstan, it provides evidence of the existence of Late Paleolithic traces within the region. The core is of double striking platforms, one-sided, of a prismatic reduction technique for the production of elongated blades. The discovery of a core in a buried context opens up new prospects and indicates the direction for further investigations of early Upper Paleolithic sites on the eastern outskirts of the Saryarka.
