Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Paleolithic monumentsoccupy a special place, first of all, in solving urgent problems of the Paleolithic sites of the Aral Sea regionin the Stone Age (development of the Stone Age culture, the evolution of tools, etc.). It also analyzesthe discovery and study of the stone age of the century, their periodization.
