This article presents the research results of Final Middle Paleolithic complexes from Darvagchai geoarchaeological area. These materials significantly complement the factual evidence of the given cultural and chronological range at the territory of the North Eastern Caucasus. The stone tools are characterized by Levallois knapping technique and present a typical Middle Paleolithic tool kit. Middle-size artifacts predominate. The artifacts are made of homogenous raw materials and have the same degree of the surface safety and are made in the same technical tradition. Peculiarities of technological and typological character of lithic industry with pronounced Levallois features propose the specific character of Paleolithic in Seaside Dagestan. This study of Final Middle Paleolithic allows approaching to the solutions of the problems, associated with appearance and development of anthropologically modern human types. It gives an opportunity not only to reconstruct the cultural historical process in this territory during Neopleistocene, but also resolve the problems of content and boundary adjustment of cultural chronological divisions in Paleolithic of the Caucasus and the Aral-Caspian Basin in general.
