Kara-Bom is an Initial Upper Paleolithic archaeological site dating to 46,620 +/-1,750 cal years before present (BP), and located in Southern Siberia. It is among the earliest (probable) modern human sites for Siberia, together with Kara-Tenesh, Kandabaevo, and Podzvonskaya.^[2]

The site of Kara-Bom has lithic assemblages consisting in classic and elongated Levallois points. The site would represent a key station in the expansion of modern humans out of Southwest Asia slightly before 47 ka cal BP, one of the next stations being Ust-Ischim, but this wave of colonization apparently did not go as far as Western Europe.^[3]

Unambiguous modern human sites in Siberia and Eastern Asia where modern human remains were found, start with Ust-Ischim (45,000 years BP) or Tianyuan (c. 40,000 BP), followed by significantly later sites such as Yana RHS (24,000 years BP).
