NOVOSIBIRSK, RUSSIA—According to a report in The Siberian Times,
a figurine that appears to be wearing a feathered headdress has been
discovered at an approximately 5,000-year-old site near the Ob River in
western Siberia. Archaeologist Natalia Basova said the unusual artifact
was found along with a bird carved from bone that was probably sewn onto
clothing or worn as a pendant, and several anthropomorphic figurines,
also equipped with holes, made of mammoth tusk, sandstone, birch burl,
and an organic material that has not yet been identified. A moose
figurine, made of shale, was also recovered. The site was disturbed by
an earthquake and tsunami wave some 4,000 years ago, and by a potato
farm in the modern era.
