Regional and local drivers of vegetation and humidity dynamics in Western Siberia during the Holocene
The Western Siberian peatlands rank among the largest in the Northern Hemisphere. This study investigates peatland development and palaeohydrological changes of the Mukhrino mire during the Holocene focussing on climatic, regional and local factors. The multiproxy and multi-core approach reveals spatial variability driven by topography and sedimentary conditions. Our study integrates testate amoebae, plant macrofossils, peat geochemical and bioma…
Chronology of the Volchia Griva Megafaunal Locality and Paleolithic Site (Western Siberia) and the Issue of Human Occupation of Siberia at the Last Glacial Maximum
A summary of the chronology for the key paleontological and archaeological site of Volchia Griva in the southern part of the West Siberian Plain is presented. Currently, 42 reliable 14 C values have been generated on animal bones (37 14 C dates) and charcoal (5 14 C dates). Three stratigraphic levels of animal bones are established. The 14 C ages of the fossils are as follows: the upper level—ca. 10,620–12,520 BP; the middle level—ca. 13,700–17,8…
The unique Late Paleolithic artifactual bone assemblage from the Volchia Griva site, Western Siberia
In 2020, a unique bone assemblage was found at the Late Paleolithic site Volchia Griva. Its base is made of a distal mammoth femur minus epiphysis, in which a cavity has been hollowed out. Impact notches along the edges of the cavity and holes in the metaphysis prove the human-made nature of this specimen. A portion of a polar fox cranium, half of a fox hemimandible, a fox tooth, and a large mammal rib fragment were enclosed in the cavity. The ma…
The Volchia Griva mineral oasis as unique locus for research of the mammoth fauna and the late Pleistocene environment in Northern Eurasia
This paper describes the results of research at Volchia Griva, the largest site in Asia containing mammoth fauna in situ. It is situated in the south of the West Siberian Plain in the Baraba forest-steppe zone, and occupies an area of several hectares. Analysis of sediments and taphonomy of the site allows us to suggest that thousands of megafaunal remains were buried here in mud pits and erosional depressions. The favorable geochemical landscape…
