The workshop is so named because the first silicon find was made in the village of Uchtut. The Paleolithic workshop covers a wide area in the southern foothills of the Vaush Mountains, from Uchtut to Chakmoktepa, 3 km long and 200 m wide. There are also Neolithic mines in one of the foothills, from which raw materials have been mined. In this connection, both the open-pit workshop and the silicon mines of the Paleolithic period are called Uchtut. The stoneware was collected from the foothills, hills and hillsides, around the modern Tosh-Koton quarry, and from ditches and trenches. The collection consists of a total of 93,847 items, including stone objects, bones of various animals and deer antlers.
