The Upper Paleolithic in Siberia can be said to refer from the early Upper Paleolithic to around 10,000 BP, when the Neolithic age begins. This Upper Paleolithic is characterized by the blade tool culture and the micro blade culture, and appears throughout in Siberia.
Burins are the stone tool that appear mainly in the Upper Paleolithic, and can be said to be an important stone tool found in most of the sites of the Upper Paleolithic. Burin is a tool that is thought to have been used to cut or cut grooves into bones and horns. This stone tool is sometimes found in the early Upper Paleolithic and the middle Upper Paleolithic, but it appears in earnest in the Upper Paleolithic.
Basically, thin and long flakes and technical know-how to remove the blades seem to be deeply related to making of the burin. Therefore, it seems to have been used more variously from the appearance of blade technology. In Siberia, these burins can be divided into two types of external peeling and double peeling. Also, these two types can be divided into single face and multi face, and according to the position of working face of burin can be classified into angular burin, central burin, diagonal burin, horizontal burin, mixed burin.
In the Siberian region, these burins were initially made and used as the simplest stone tools to use without retouch, and it seems to have been gradually produced and used in a complex character by utilizing various bodies for various purposes.
