This article summarizes the results of research conducted by the Mongolian-Polish archaeological expedition in south-central Mongolia (Ömnögovĭ and Övorkhangai aimags) in the Gobi-Altai region between 2016 and 2025. The work focused on the complex of Paleolithic sites and a siliceous rock outcrop with lithic workshops, such as Tsakhiurtyn Hundi (Flint Valley). This research aimed to reconstruct the paleoenvironment and human adaptation to climate change in this area from the Last Glacial Period to the late Holocene.
