Russian term

Разнонаправленными оказались и аналогии подобным наборам

Russian to English Science Archaeology
All I can find for pазнонаправленными is alternate. Does it mean "different"? I've included the two preceding sentences and the following sentence for context:

Одни скопления доставили обильный микроинвентарь с пластинками с притупленным краем, характерными формами наконечников с боковой выемкой, остриями и проколками.

Другие - острия с притупленным краем и основанием, пластинки с притупленным краем и концами, ножи и острия на крупных пластинах.

Разнонаправленными оказались и аналогии подобным наборам изделий на других стоянках Костенок.

"Раскопки нижнего культурного слоя Костенок 21 убедительно показали, что кремневый инвентарь разных участков одного поселения может отличаться настолько, что при иных обстоятельствах эти различия безоговорочно интерпретировались бы как различия культурного порядка"

controvrsial happened to be the analogs to such sets

The key word is "controversial"
Peer comment(s):

agree Russkiy : "controversial" is very good. Actually "разнонаправленными" sounds awkward in this context, at least for my ears.

Thanks!
agree kfpdavis : I suggest the following word order: The analogues to such sets happened to be (or turned out to be) controversial

Sure, it'd be better... Thanks!
agree Anastasia Novoselova : Maybe, it's analogies that are controversial, rather than analogues?

Such items [at other locations...] as were similar to the sets above proved to be mismatched as well

I don't think it's possible to pinpoint the meaning the author gave to the word "разнонаправленный". The translation above is a guess as far as this word is concerned.

You can substitute "finds" for "items" and insert "of tools" after "sets", and/or substitute, e.g., "assortments" for "sets" and ring the changes any way you like.
