An adult male in a Stone Age grave

Caption

Grave 69, of an adult male, on the island of Yuzhniy Oleniy Ostrov. Human and animal bone pendants were found together with an elk tooth pendant on the femurs. Most likely, they together formed an ornament on the hem of a garment or some kind of a rattle.
