Outline of Final Research Achievements

Mal’ta site in Baikal Siberia is a prominent site, where sculptures such as “Venus” and bird made from tusks of mammoth were excavated. Since 1928, excavation was conducted many times, but the excavated point and level of remains were often not clear. Japan-Russia joint research at Mal’ta site was conducted in 2013 and 2014, many identified samples ware obtained. In addition, samples for radiocarbon dating were taken at the National museum of History, the State Hermitage Museum and Irkutsk State University. Over 70 samples, mainly bone samples, including an infant bone and sculpture of Venus were dated and carbon and nitrogen isotopic analyses were conducted for these samples. The important information about the geoarchaeological stratification and age of Mal’ta were obtained.
