The concept of the early Neolithisation of the Azov Sea area was founded in the 1950s. It is based on some nowadays lost finds of the Kamiana Mogyla-1 site. The author infers that the published identification of its fauna is total for layers of the 8—6th ka cal BC. V. Danilenko’s data about livestock bones in the Mesolithic layers has no documentary proof. I. Pidoplichko’s fauna identification is called into question because the antiglacial theory and “Michurinist Biology” influenced his views.
Keywords: Northern Azov Sea area, Neolithisation, livestock, stratigraphy, radiocarbon dates
