"...Dyuktai Cave (14-13,000 rcybp) on the Aldan River, Siberia, is interesting because of the discovery of bifacial projectile points, oval and triangular knives, discoidal, Levallois, wedge-shaped cores, multifaceted burins, large side scrapers, small end scrappers on blades, and retouched flakes. These artifacts are associated with large animals, including mammoth"....
This is very interesting. As a youth, I and my friends collected such things out of corn and tobacco fields in Clark County, KY.

The Mammoth Ivory Male head from Dolni Vestonice
A possible forgery
http://donsmaps.com/hoax.html
Paul Bahn writing in ‘Journey through the Ice Age’, says that the head may be a fake. His main argument seems to be lack of provenance (meaning that it was not found by a recognised and trusted archaeologist, or with reliable witnesses to the discovery) and that the style is too modern. He also says that the Lady of Brassempouy (the ivory carving of Ayla) may be a fake.
