The site of ancient hunters is currently being investigated by archaeologists on the banks of the Yenisei river in Krasnoyarsk; more specifically, in the city centre – the area of the construction of an overhead passage across Karl Marx St.

«In the layers already analysed, we have recorded the remains of ancient fireplaces and stone and bone artifacts confined to them. At the moment, more than a thousand artifacts of stone, bone, horn, mammoth tusk have been found, as well as about 10 thousand animal bones, mainly of the reindeer and the hare. Preliminarily, we can conclude that we are investigating a complex of sites of ancient hunters on the banks of the Yenisei, where the carcasses of killed animals were cut, hides were processed, clothes were sewn and stone tools were made,» — said Alexander Barkov, representative of the «Krasnoyarsk Geoarchaeology» Company.

At the construction site of a new pedestrian bridge, scientists discovered waste stone production, tools for cutting prey (scrapers, rakes, retouched flakes) and processing bone or wood (chisel tools), needles and arrowheads made of bone, as well as two tools made of mammoth tusk, possibly used to process hides. Archaeologists have also found objects of ancient art, as in, unique small bone beads.
