Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the description of microlithic finds from the lower cultural layers of the Late Paleolithic Cosautsy site (Moldova). Particular attention is drawn to the finds from the fifth layer - flint and obsidian artifacts of the "rectangle" type, flint micro-points with a blunted edge, including needle-shaped and lancet. All of them correspond to the epigravete techno-complex widely spread in Middle Transnistria.
