Аннотация: The article describes the peculiar category of stone artifacts - thinned preforms found in the Northern Angara region. Earlier, in the studies dedicated to the stone industries, pieces of this type were not specially considered. Analyzed group of pieces was found at the Pashina, Ust'-Kova, Ust'-Kova I sites. Findings are dated to the Neolithic (Late Mesolithic?) - Bronze Age. Pieces are made mainly on flattened platy and parallelepiped-shaped blocks of raw materials or fragments of sedimentary rocks (aleurolite, sandstone). A characteristic feature of these pieces is very acute flaking. Given the differences in metric parameters we can suggest different purposes of the blanks. Presumably, the pieces served as stadial form in the manufacture of various types of tools, particularly foursided axes and adzes, bifaces, and others. According to the authors, this category of pieces demonstrates primary treatment of raw material blocks and preparation of preforms for various purposes by their thinning. The generality of the principles of treatment and serially of the pieces allow us to consider them as a separate category in the typological scheme of Holocene stone industries of the Northern Angara region.
