Abstract. This paper is an abridged version of the graduation thesis defended at the Chair of Archaeology of Leningrad State University in 1987. It introduces for the first time a considerable part of materials obtained by N. D. Praslov in the course of his excavations at Ilskaya in 1963 and 1967–1969. The descriptive part of the 1987 thesis is published here with very few abridgements or other changes. The text is accompanied with drawings of one hundred fifty cores and retouched tools. Major attention is paid to the characteristic of secondarily retouched pieces which include a substantial proportion of bifacially worked objects. The author tries to identify the technological and typological peculiarities that distinguish the industry.

Keywords: Ilskaya site, Transkuban region, Middle Paleolithic, cores, tools, bifacial forms.
