This article examins the classification of raw materials and strategies for their utilisation in the stone industry of the neolithic cave of Toda-1, located in the Baysun mountains of southern Uzbekistan. Stone artefacts found in the Toda-1 cave were mainly made from six types of stone: brown flint, dolomite, green flint, chalcedony, siliceous limestone and jasper. The flints were transported to the site in the form of small pebbles. Other types of stone were also obtained in the form of pebbles from the nearby scree deposits, and in some cases, flat and naturally split fragments of stone from nearby mountains were used. In the manufacture of stone tools in the collection - atypical scrapers, chisels, retouched blades, blades and microblades, geometric triangular microliths, borers, points, composite tools and retouched flakes - brown flint was mainly used. The cave used different grades of siliceous limestone with varying degrees of silicification. Due to a shortage of flint, they tried to replace it with highly silicified siliceous limestone. Flint cores are very rare at the site, and green flint, jasper and chalcedony cores have not been found at all. Six types of stone were used in the production of flakes in the neolithic cave of Toda-1, and five types were used in the manufacture of blades. Flakes were rarely made from slate and chalcedony. The raw material economy of the site reflects a shortage a high-quality flint and a intensive exploitation of highly silicified rocks.
