Abstract
The paper analyzes the original complex of large nuclei and plates produced from the unusual for the Middle Urals mineral raw material – white siliceous rock. The plates up to 12.3 cm long and 1.6–4.5 cm wide have mostly irregular facets and uneven side edges. The plates are distinguished by their thickness reached up to 1.6 cm. In general, the large-plate complex of Viyka I related to the Neolithic of the Middle Urals characterized by plates of 1.8–2.5 cm wide composed of light gray siliceous rock.
