Tools from Afontova Gora in the Krasnoyarsk Regional Museum
Afontova Gora (Russian: Афонтова гора, "Afont Mountain") is a Late Upper Paleolithic and Mesolithic Siberian complex of archaeological sites located on the left bank of the Yenisey River near the city of Krasnoyarsk, Russia. Afontova Gora has cultural and genetic links to the people from Mal'ta–Buret'. The complex was first excavated in 1884 by Ivan Savenkov [ru].[2]
The Afontova Gora complex consists of multiple stratigraphic layers, of five or more campsites.[2] The campsites shows evidence of mammoth hunting and were likely the result of an eastward expansion of mammoth hunters.[3] The human fossils discovered at Afontova Gora, a male and a girl dated to 17,000~15,000 years BP, were stored in the Hermitage Museum.[2]
