The Low Danube basin is a unique habitat, its peculiarities are determined not only by specific elements of its palaeogeographic environment, but also by peculiar cultural features of its inhabitants. The site at Zaliznichnoe yielded numerous flint objects, among the objects of primary processing – mostly nucleuses and flakes, and among the objects of secondary processing – scrapers, trapezes, burins, retouched plates, one chisel, etc. The analysis allows to ascertain that all categories combine elements of different origin and techno-typological industrial traditions: Anetovka and Grebenikovskaya cultures so that it is not possible to make a clear division between the two cultures on this site. It is suggested that representatives of the two cultures (Anetovka and Grebenikovskaya), formed in the Dniester-Southern Bug interfluvial, inhabited the interfluvial of the Danube and Dniester in the late Mesolithic as one integrated population.
