Abstract in brief

  • The Yana RHS site in Siberia, located at 71 degrees N above the Arctic Circle, is a newly discovered Paleolithic site dating to 27,000 years ago, making it one of the oldest known human occupations in the Arctic region during glacial times.
  • Artifacts found at the site include a rare rhinoceros foreshaft, mammoth foreshafts, and various tools, indicating advanced technological adaptation to extreme conditions.
  • This discovery suggests that humans were able to adapt to the harsh, high-latitude environment of the late Pleistocene much earlier than previously believed, challenging existing timelines of human Arctic settlement.]
