英文摘要	A new type of burial place of large mammals remains (primarily, mammoths) has been identified that is associated with their death at the beast solonetz sites. Those are ground surface sites where animals with water-electrolytic imbalance eat soil or drink mineralised water. The substantiation has been provided for the wide occurrence of the beast solonetz sites throughout the Chulym-Yenisei Plain during the Sartan Cryochron (similar to 24,000 - 10,000 BC), when acid and acid-gley geochemical landscapes deficient in alkaline and alkaline-earth elements evolved considerably. The beast solonetz sites were the peculiar mineral (geochemical) oases in the migration ways of the mammoth fauna. The formation of favourable Ca-Mg-Na-geochemical landscapes at such sites resulted from the unique combination of the geological structure, relief and microclimate. The principal reason for the accumulation of megafauna (primarily, females, calves, ill animals) at the mineral oases is in the direct and circumstantial abiotic relations of mammals with the geochemical habitat, of which lithophagia is one of the manifestations. The Kiya beast solonetz grouping, Shestakovo-Kochegur (similar to 25,800 - 17,800 BC), where lots of mammoths' bones bear evidences of destructive changes caused by mineral deficiency, is the typical locality of such kind. Mineral oases and adjacent sites were also the centres of the early man's activity. This is proved by a number of synchronous Palaeolithic settlements located on the favourable geochemical landscapes enriched with Ca, Mg, Na, Co, Cu and other elements. Two new available objects with faunal and cultural layers are described. They are Podaik and the Beryozovsk Quarry. The Podaik locality is confined to the Kiya beast solonetz grouping and characterized by the associated occurrence of mammoths' remains and Palaeolithic artefacts. The archaeological collection is indicative of the continuity of the primary splitting technique and methods of tools making in the Shestakovo industry, as proved by the C-14-age (similar to 17,300 years) of a mammoth's tusk. The locality "Beryozovsk Quarry" is situated in the Nazarovskaya depression and related to the geochemical oasis of the crust of weathering developed along the middle Jurassic deposits. Typical for this object are plenty of reindeer bones and the associated stone artefacts. The presumed radiocarbon age (similar to 10,100 BC) of enclosing deposits approaches the Pleistocene-Holocene transition. The genesis of the locality is related with the specialized hunt of man for reindeer within the beast solonetz where butchering was subsequently made. The palaeoecological investigation is of great practical significance for understanding processes of changes in the abiotic medium of large mammals, including contemporary humans.
