Read our privacy policy Mysterious circles of bones made from the remains of dozens of mammoths have helped scientists understand how humans survived the last Ice Age. Archaeologists from the University of Exeter found the remains of charred wood and other soft non-woody plant remains within the structure, which is located near the modern village of Kostenki, around 500km south of Moscow. “Archaeology is showing us more about how our ancestors survived in this desperately cold and hostile environment at the climax of the last Ice Age. “Most other places at similar latitudes in Europe had been abandoned by this time, but these groups had managed to adapt to find food, shelter and water.” The last Ice Age swept northern Europe between 75-18,000 years ago and reached its coldest and most severe state around 23-18,000 years ago.
