127 thousand hp: Muster site of bison hunters Chelyuskinets II near Volgograd

Main article: Paleolithic in Russia

147 thousand hp: Muster site of bison hunters Zaikino ashes near Volgograd

Zaikino Pepelishche is an archaeological site, a site of the Middle Paleolithic era. One of the earliest Mousterian monuments of the Russian Plain in the Mikulinsky interglacial region. It is located in the Dubovsky district of the Volgograd region near the Chelyuskinets farm.

Elasmotherium

The layered sand-clay sequence, which includes the cultural layer, dates from the thermoluminescent method to the age of 130±13,5 thousand years, gray-brown clay from the cultural layer to the age of 147±20,5 thousand years.

The antiquity of the site is also confirmed by the discovery of an elasmotherium tooth. This animal is almost unknown in the layers of archaeological sites of the Russian Plain and it is believed that it is synchronous with the Khazar faunal complex of the Middle Pleistocene, which precedes the Upper Paleolithic (mammoth) faunal ^[2].

In the lower layer, which was assigned to the Middle Paleolithic, archaeologists found about 1000 bones of various animals and 551 objects made of stone. In addition to them, 88 guns were in the layer, in most made of flint - scrapers, spikelets and flakes.
