Kostenki

Kostenki

Kostenki is a village located in Voronezh Oblast, Russia. Geographical location coord|51|23|N|39|03|E|. It is known for high concentration of cultural remains of modern humans from beginning of Upper Paleolithic era.

A layer of Campanian volcanic ash from about 40,000 years ago (or 38,000 BCE) has been found above some of the finds, showing that modern man inhabited the site before this.

According to John F. Hoffecker (BBC "Science in Action", 12 Jan. 2007), sewing needles were found just above the ash layer.
