This beautiful pendant was found during excavations at Kostenki 17 last summer. It was left behind by a modern human over 40,000 years ago. #EMHEProject #IceAge #culture

This lithic from Kostënki 17 was discarded after being used as a core for small bladelets, which were detached down its edge. Some of these bladelets were then further shaped, probably for use on hunting kit.

@LeMoustier Thanks Becky! This one's especially good eye candy.*

The section at Kostёnki 6 last summer, showing the stratigraphic dip of deposits of volcanic ash (grey). Stone tools and bones were found underlying this ash layer.

Excavations at Kostёnki 6 last summer, led by Alexei Artyushenko. Archaeological material at Kostёnki 6 - some of which is over 45,000 years old - was found lying within a palaeo-ravine. #EMHEProject #Archaeology

Read all about it: the only plausibly Gravettian burial in Russia. Our paper on Kostënki 18 now up on @AntiquityJ (with @EMHEProject @ThibautDeviese @tommyhigham) #palaeolithic #archaeology https://t.co/r7uUV19GpJ

An awesome shot of the 2017 excavations at Kostёnki 17 in Russia, led by Alexander Bessudnov.
This is the younger of the site’s two archaeological layers, dating to about 35,000 years ago-you can see a woolly rhino pelvis in the top left 🦏#EMHEProject #Archaeology #Palaeolithic
