Abstract
MANY traces of Palaeolithic settlements can be found in cave sediments, but actual dwellings dating from such ancient times are very rare. Traces of dwellings made of mammoth bones were excavated in Central and Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union in the second half of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as well as a few years ago in the Ukraine. These were the only known settlements of late Palaeolithic mammoth hunters until 1967.
