The site Borovka III is situated at 1,5 km from the village Baranchinskiy Kuvshinskii district Sverdlovsk oblast. During the period of the researches (1976–1978) the area of 146 square meters was broken down. The excavators detected three centers between which there was a workplace for producing knives from the plates of grey quartzrock. More than 20 thousand scutes, 2 thousand rejected plates, 130 knives and its pieces and also 15 processing instruments – hammer-stones and opaquers testify that. The analysis of the scutes shows that there were produced not less than 400 knives from the plates of the grey quartzrock on the site. The site is classified as a specialized workshop-settlement. Notably, that it is classified twice: according to the types of a raw material (plates of grey quartzrock) and the types of producing instruments (knives from the plates of quartzrock). Its functioning was in the late Neolith-Eneolith. More precise date cannot be decided yet. The materials of the workshop-settlement open an opportunity for some reconstruction buildings.
