A new data on the low passage from the Ignatievskaya cave in the Southern Ural

In 1982, V.T. Petrin conducted systematic study of the Ignatievskaya Cave, and in the Low Passage area human remains were found. They belong to four individuals: two children (5-7 and 4-5 years old), a female (15-20 years old), and a male (35-45 years old). The most diagnostic skeletal parts were upper permanent molars of children; combination of traits allowed us to establish the connection with the autochthonous populations of the forest zone of East European Plain and forest steppe zone of the West Siberian Plain. Calendar age of human remains (16-15-th centuries B. C.) shows that these finds are not associated with any archaeological complexes of the cave, the earliest of which is dated to the end of Upper Paleolithic, and the latest to the 11-10-th centuries B. C.
