Metz De Boz is a paleolithic archaeological site situated approximately 300 kilometres south of Kiev, Ukraine. Alternatively known as the Medzhybizh A site, this ancient site has yielded a variety of flint tools, but most notably the possibly oldest ivory tools ever discovered. Eleven of the ivory artifacts showed clear evidence that they were modified for tool use, including sharp pointed ivory pieces.

The site has been dated to at least 400,000 years before present. Likely ancient inhabitants of this site from the paleolithic period were H. Neanderthalensis.
