A group of Russian archeologists working in Zaraisk town under Moscow has found statuettes carved of mammoth tusks in Stone Age.
      
      The results of their research have been published in the journal “Antiquity”.
      The finds, exceptionally rare and useful for science purposes, date back to the Upper Paleolithic Era, which lasted from 35000 to 8 000 years B.C.
      
      The archeologists have found a mammoth rib on which by all appearance figurines of mammoths are depicted, a small bone with a cross-like pattern and two statuettes made of a mammoth tusk and probably portraying women.
