Abstract

This article continues the discussion of objects of ancient art, which are presented in the works of M. A. Kiryak at this time; the reader is offered an analysis of items in which bears are “guessed”. In fact, many of the objects in question are just flakes which have nothing to do with figurative activity. All of them were found in Chukotka and referred to the Late Neolithic time.
