Russian term or phrase: вкладышевая техника
This part of the text is looking at cultural variations during the Palaeolithic in Sibera. The "процессы" mentioned are a return to using macrolithic tools due to a change from a sedentary lifeway to a wandering one and caused by environmental changes.

The full paragraph follows:

По мнению А. П. Окладникова, эти процессы имели не регрессивный, а прогрессивный характер, знаменуя собой раннее начало перехода к индивидуальным формам охоты, выразившийся в широком распространении вкладышевой техники.

microburin technique
Explanation:
A microlith, a very small stone tool made on a bladelet, was produced by the microburin technique. Microliths were produced in large numbers at the end of the Paleolithic and especially in the Mesolithic, were shaped by abrupt retouch into various shapes and used for many purposes, such as barbs and tips for arrows and spears.
