“…The closest East European Upper Palaeolithic analogies for the layer I lithic industry are seen in the Gorodtsovian assem blages of the River Don area (Anikovich et al 2007;Sinitsyn 2015). The assemblage of the lower most layer II/2 is fully Upper Palaeolithic in its tech nological and morphological characteristics and also has no regional analogies but finds a close analogy in a geographically remote assemblage of Paglicci 24A1 (Stepanchuk, Vietrov 2021). An intermediate layer II/1 contains only a few bones and flint arte facts that may have migrated from the uppermost layer I via bioturbation.…”

The purpose of this article is to present data on the surface structure identified in the upper layer of the Mira site in the Dnieper valley. The occupation of layer I, based on a set of consistent data, constitutes the remains of a seasonal winter camp of Pleistocene horse hunters. Ten available radiocarbon dates place the calibrated age of layer I between 31,000 to 28,000 cal BP. The rapid albeit gentle overlapping of the settlement remains with alluvial sediments ensured that the original settlement and dwelling patterns and their elements survived well. Thanks to this, it is possible to reconstruct some significant aspects of the construction process, as well as details of the arrangement of the dwelling’s interior space. A 30,000-year-old, permanent skeleton cylindrical yaranga type surface construction from Mira layer I is currently representing the oldest dwelling known in the Upper Palaeolithic of Ukraine and a broader context of the steppe zone of the East European plain.
