- Аннотация: Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive spectrome-ters (EDS) was performed on samples from chert outcrops and 31 chert artifacts from several Epipaleolithic sites, including the Sosruko and Psytuaje rockshelters in the North-Central Caucasus, and the Gubs VII rockshelter and Kasojskaya Cave in the North-Western Caucasus, dated at the end of the Last Glacial Maximum to the early Holocene. As a result, we defined several chert sources that Epipaleolithic hunter-gatherers exploited in the region. The SEM results mainly confirm the previous results obtained using petrography and geochemistry but also provide new data on raw mate-rial transport in the Northern region during the Epipaleolithic. The most important result is that some chert artifacts from the Epipaleolithic layer 7 at the Sosuko rock-shelter are made from Cretaceous flint transported from the Besleneevskaya outcrops, located in the North-Western Caucasus, about 250 km linearly from the site. This supports the archaeological data indicating the lithic and bone artifacts from layer 7 are analogous to the Epipaleolithic of the North-Western Caucasus.
