[Sputnik] Researchers from Siberian Federal University (SibFU) and the Institute of Archeology and Ethnography of SB RAS have discovered ancient artefacts during excavation works in the Ust-Kova area of the Krasnoyarsk region. According to the scientists, some of the artefacts, which are more than 24,000 years old, indicate that the ancient inhabitants of Siberia had a high level of technological development and sophisticated religious views. This suggests that the region was a major centre of civilization in the Paleolithic era... Drozdov said that having processed microscopic images of a mammoth figurine made from a large ivory fragment, the researchers managed to restore the ivory processing technology used by ancient craftsmen... Archaeologists plan to conduct a detailed study of the composition of the paints used for rock art. The researchers said that among the other artefacts found in Ust-Kova are of great interest as well. Among them is an 18,000 year-old graphic image of a horse made on a mammoth tusk plate, the first one of its kind seen in Siberia. Siberian Federal University
