Scientists from the Institute of History, Archaeology, and Ethnography of the Peoples of the Russian Far East, part of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, are studying human remains found in the Triangular Cave near the village of Nikolaevka in the Partizansk District in the south of Primorye. Deputy Director of the institute for scientific work, Nikolay Klyuev, reported that DNA analysis is being conducted, the appearance of the buried individual is being reconstructed, and extensive research on the site is ongoing.
The Triangular Cave became a subject of research due to a rare find — a burial from the Paleometal era, dating back to the end of the 2nd millennium BCE. For Primorye, where the preservation of bone remains and burial sites from that time is not optimal, this discovery is unique. It provides a unique opportunity for a deeper understanding of the history and culture of the region.
Klyuev noted that as a result of the analysis, it has already been established that a woman was buried in the cave. At the burial site, two axes, a polished knife, and a bone awl were also found.
