“…The 14 C dates are calibrated into calendar ages using IntCal13 (Reimer et al, 2013). The calendar ages are reported in cal ky BP and correlated with cold phases (Greenland Stadials, GS) and warm phases (Greenland Interstadials, GI) (Shackleton, 1977;Hedges et al, 1998;Litt et al, 2001;Gibbard and van Kolfschoten, 2004;Andersen et al, 2006;Chabai and Uthmeier, 2006;Gerasimenko, 2006;Svensson et al, 2006Svensson et al, , 2008Mol, 2008;Velichko and Faustova, 2009;Rasmussen et al, 2014 For this study we used a large amount of published data on fossil mammoth remains from different parts of Eurasia (Vereshchagin, 1979;Vereshchagin and Baryshnikov, 1985;Musil, 1985;Kahlke, 1994Kahlke, , 2014Kahlke, , 2015Vartanyan et al, 1995;Ukkonen et al, 1999Ukkonen et al, , 2007Garrut and Tikhonov, 2001;Foronova, 2001;Lister and Sher, 2001;Lougas et al, 2002;MacPhee et al, 2002;Stuart et al, 2002Stuart et al, , 2004Kuzmin et al, 2003;Kosintsev, 2003;Rustioni et al, 2003;Tong and Patou-Mathis, 2003;Kuzmin and Orlova, 2004;Sher et al, 2005;Stuart, 2005;Takahashi et al, 2007;Sommer and Benecke, 2009;…”

a b s t r a c tBased on geographic information (database PALEOFAUNA), in combination with 14 C and other methods of paleo dating (1584 localities, 4033 dates, including 1501 direct dates), we first examined details of changes of mammoth distribution in Eurasia on the whole and in single parts of the range over the last 50ky. The analysis of regional features in the dynamics of mammoth range and the quantity of dated localities acknowledged a leading role of the climatic (environmental) factor in these processes. The maximum size of the Eurasian range, the largest number of remains of mammoths from dated localities and, probably, the maximum total number of population were established for the range of 38.2 e8.6 cal ky BP (Denekamp interstadial ¼ Bryansk interstadial). In Western and Central Europe, the increase of population was observed during Huneborg stadial (40.8e38.2 cal ky BP). In eastern Siberia, the maximum population growth occurred in the Last Glacial Maximum (28.6e22.5 cal ky BP), and in Western Siberia e during Deglaciation (22.5e14.7 cal ky BP). The population dynamics at the periphery of the range (Islands of Japan, British Isles, Northern Europe, Southern Siberia and Northern China, and, but to lesser extent, South-Eastern Europe) differs from the dynamics of its main part. The southernmost parts of the range e Southern Siberia and southeastern Europe experienced similar changes. Population dynamics in the Iberian Peninsula was much alike the changes in Western and Central Europe. We suggested that some peripheral populations could periodically be isolated from the populations of the main part of the range. Direct calibrated radiocarbon dates fixed upper boundary of extinction of this species in different parts of range within time interval from 21 (the Iberian Peninsula) to 4 (northeastern Siberia) thousands years BP. The hypotheses about the causes of the dynamics of the area and population of the mammoth in Eurasia, including those related to the extinction of certain genetic lines of a mammoth in the Late Pleistocene, are being discussed.

“…The marten remains from the Holocene archaeological sites in the Baltic region (Paaver, 1965), the Middle Urals (Gasilin et al, 2014), the Southern Urals (Gasilin & Gimranov, 2010;Gimranov & Kosintsev, 2015) and south-east of Western Siberia (Devyashin et al, 2016) have been thoroughly studied in the past years. These data show that marten species inhabited the Southern Urals since the Late Pleistocene (Kosintsev & Bachura, 2013). Remains of all three species (pine marten, stone marten, and sable) were found in the Holocene sites (Gimranov & Kosintsev, 2015; Ko- (Kirikov, 1959), f -southern border of modern distribution of the pine marten, g -southern border of modern distribution of the sable.…”

The study of the morphotypes of the crowns of the buccal teeth of three species of the genus Martes made it possible to trace the formation of modern ranges of pine marten M. martes, stone marten M. foina and sable M. zibellina during the second half of the Holocene. The pine marten range did not undergo any significant changes during the second half of the Holocene and included both Southern Urals and Trans-Urals. In the South Urals in the beginning and middle of the Late Holocene, the ranges of sable, stone marten and pine marten were overlapped. At the end of the late Holocene the sable range was shifted to the north, and the range of stone marten to the southwest , and in 18th century, only the pine marten inhabits the Southern Urals. In the second half of the Holocene until the 18th century, the Southern Trans-Urals were inhabited by only two species of the genus Martes-sable and pine marten, their ranges were sympatric. Modern boundaries of the ranges of sable, stone marten and pine marten in the Southern Urals and in the Southern Trans-Urals have been formed over the last 300 years.

“…The animals pictured in Ignatievskaya cave are distinct from post‐Paleolithic open‐air rock art in the area, featuring elks, deer, roe, waterbirds, and occasional bears. The very repertoire of the paintings in Ignatievskaya cave, thus, points toward their Paleolithic age, as the large mammals of the “mammoth fauna” were driven to extinction in Southern Ural at the end of the Pleistocene (Danukalova et al, 2020; Kosintsev and Bachura, 2013).…”

²³⁰Th dating of flowstone from Ignatievskaya Cave, Russia: Age constraints of rock art and paleoclimate inferences

et al. 2021

Paleolithic antiquity of parietal art in Ignatievskaya cave, Southern Ural, is supported by its subject (Late Pleistocene animals) as well as by paleontological and palynological data, and 14C dates from cultural layers associated with artistic activity (17.8−16.3 cal ka BP; association is established by finds of ochre in these layers). However, three 14C dates of charcoal motifs yielded younger, Holocene ages (7.4−6.0 cal ka BP). In this study, we constrain the age of parietal art in the cave by 230Th dating of flowstone that brackets the paintings. Flowstone did not form in the cave between c. 78 and 10 ka BP, due to widespread permafrost in northern Eurasia at that time. Our 230Th dates do not support the middle Holocene age of art in Ignatievskaya cave and are consistent with its Upper Paleolithic antiquity instead.
