It was exciting to be acquainted with exposition of the Museum if Kulai culture in Podgorny village. At present time there is only a small area has left from the famous mountain, its crest is dangerously hanging at the great height and the large part of it had fallen in river this spring. It is dangerous to walk on the top of the mountain and remained part of it is having no prospects for archeological works. Students had to deal with a very hard terrain – clay. Among the findings made in one of the dig sites there were silicic sliver, knife-shaped plate that are evidence of human presence in this area, probably in late Stone Age.
