The paper describes the scale outcrop in detail, one of the most interesting and valuable crosssections of Upper Pleistocene soil-loess cover of Ukrainian Pre-Carpathians, Galician Transdniester, in stratigraphical and paleographic aspects. It identifies new horizons for local Neo-Pleistocene, not defined by previous cross-sections researchers. This new factual data leads to changing the modern understanding of the stratigraphical position and age of the main cultural layer of Mezhyhirskyi Paleolithic site. Key words: Upper Pleistocene, soil-loess cover, the Late Paleolithic, Mezhyhirtsi 1.
