Summary/Abstract: The paper reviews specific accumulations of flint material found in sites of Kamennobalkovskaja culture. According to the archaeological context, they may be interpreted as peculiar «buried treasures». Their composition and position in a layer are varied. However, their presence suggests the formation of the concept of a «personal property», and also to evaluate a relative duration of habitation in a certain place.
