The article introduces into scholarly circulation the materials from two Neolithic sites located in the northern part of Saryarka (Ermentau District, Akmola Region). The site of Pavlovka 1 is situated on the surface of the second floodplain terrace of the Akmyrza River; archaeological materials were recovered from Holocene soil during excavations. The stone industry is based on diverse raw materials and is characterized by a dominance of tools made from blades, the absence of geometric microliths, the presence of wedge-shaped and single-platform cores, as well as a few bifacially worked items. The Beimen site is associated with a spring depression; archaeological materials were collected from the surface and from Holocene soil during a test pit excavation. The inventory is also marked by raw material diversity, which is likely related to the site’s multi-period nature.
