The paper deals with some aspects of site structure of Epigravettian bison hunters in North-west Pontic region on the base of key sites – Anetivka II and Big Akkarzha. There exist two main approaches toward their interpretation: • V.N. Stanko considered Anetivka II to be the cult (religious) centre of several bison hunters’ communities due to large bone-and-flint macro-assemblage, while separate micro-complexes were regarded as the places of cutting of hunted bison carcasses; • I.V. Sapozhnikov interprets small complexes of accumulated archaeological material as reflection of seasonal household activity of individual hunter families (Big Akkarzha); macro-complexes, on the opinion of this author, can be the result of multi-layer accumulation of separate micro-complexes (Big Akkarzha), as well as of periodical «floor» / territory cleaning activity at the site (Anetivka II). Both above mentioned sites can be compared in two ways: • similarity: the presence of archaeological micro-assemblages and discrete small complexes consisting predominantly of bones and flint implements; the same spatial structure (in principle); the same object of hunting (bison bones prevail at both sites); the same technical and typological composition of investigated flint collections; • difference: the size of site territory (the area of Anetivka II is several times more than Big Akkarzha); amount of flint implements (collection of Anetivka II is much more numerous); amount of bone implements (bone artefacts collection of Anetivka II is large and diverse in contrast to Big Akkarzha). Thus the differences, identified between the sites has quantitative character and don’t relate to factors of economical structure.
