Summary/Abstract: The article reviews problems of Epipaleolithic svider existence in the Carpathian – Dniester area. New materials gathered at Selişte site have been presented in the article. The author tried to reinterpret materials of a number of Subdniester “early mesolithic” monuments such as Molodova V, level 1, Otaci VI, Socol etc. It’s likely that the spread area of the svider epipaleolithic culture shifts southward if our elaborations are correct. There are two explanations of svider elements existence in this zone. It could be either the area where Svider culture arose from the local Epigravet or the examined sites including Ceahlău-Scaune and Bicaz are sites of the moving Svider people towards Crimea.
