Was there anything to show that the shaman was a man rather than a woman? I think female shamans were found in some societies.
They did not use miles or kilometers in Britain at that time. If this was a genuine Siberian shaman, maybe he/she measured distances in versts (but maybe those were only used in European Russia)...and chances are the person was born locally.

Article says they were unable to sex the skeletons. Also unable on someone interred “royally” at a nearby barrow.
Usually a pelvis is all you need. And there’s usually a pelvis in every burial.
It’s undergrad stuff (even old Ben knew how, once upon a time) Not sure what the problem seems to be for this current crop of bone wranglers.
