It included an intentionally buried wolf, a human skull and scattered human bones as well as various implements and a patch of ochre. The grave analysis is based on osteometric work, DNA analysis, stable isotope analysis, 14\u0421-dating of wolf and human bones, craniometric characteristic of the human skull, morphological and typological characteristics of the implements. A detailed archaeological description of the burial is given. The research has shown that the wolf bones in grave Locomotiv R-8 belonged to a male animal that died in July or August at the age of 9\u00b11. The cause of death and the subspecies of the animal have not been identified. The human skull is that of a Far Eastern mongoloid. There is a chronological gap between the datings for the human and the wolf bones. The grave can be dated to the Late Mesolithic period and is a ritual burial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bazaliiski V.I., Losey R.J., Pezhemsky D.V., Garvie-Lok S., Germonpre M., Leonard J.A.
