In recent years, instead of a number of mousterian cultural schemes developed for Western Europe, more objective models of the transition from the middle to the upper paleolithic have been proposed for the Middle Paleolithic of Central Asia. The Obirakhmat model of transition is presented in chronological order by the sites of Obirakhmat, Kyzylalma-2, Kulbulak, and Dodekatym. The characteristic features of the Obirakhmat variant are lamellar reduction, the earlier appearance of micro-lamellar techniques, end cores, chisel-shaped artifacts, and the transition from levallois reduction to the production of flat-faced blades.Levallois to flat splitting of ribbed plates: levallois reduction to the production of flat-faced blades In the Middle Zarafshan model, the transition from the middle to the upper paleolithic is represented by parallel levallois flakes, elongated levallois points (fr. pointes), chisel-shaped tools, different scraper types, and most importantly, stone “index finger” knives for cleaning fish scales and the conceptual splitting technique used to extract them.The third model of transition from the middle to the upper paleolithic, proposed in the article by Borsa-Kelmes, can be traced in the complexes of workshops specialized in the production of bifaces, Karakuduk-2 and Esen-2, located in the basin of the same name. The industry of the Karakuduk-2 workshop, which we classify as a mousterian variant with an acheulean tradition, may have evolved into the industry of the Esen-2 workshop, which belongs to the early upper paleolithic. The bifaces from Esen-2 differ from those of Karakuduk in their more refined workmanship and greater symmetry. Levallois reduction using light hammer percussion
