Fossil discovery of 5 mammoths with Neanderthal tools reveals life in Ice Age
Dec 29, 2021
The well-preserved mammoth remains belonged to two adults, two juveniles and an infant. Their bones were found next to a Neanderthal ax and small flint scrapers that were used to clean animal skins.
The artefacts from this site are so well preserved that archaeologists have also found remains of brown bears, steppe bison, seeds, pollen, delicate beetle wings and freshwater snail shells. Together they tell the story of the site’s environment hundreds of thousands of years ago.
