Summary
Mal'ta is located in southern part of Eastern Siberia, near Baikal. This site has been known as unique Paleolithic settlement, including a double human burial of two children, 30 human figurines carved from ivory and 15 dwelling clusters. While the original interpretation of Mal'ta was that of a single cultural layer, recent investigations have identified over 10 cultural layers, dated between the OIS 3 to OIS 2 stage. Since 2010, we have been continued the Russian- Japanese Joint research for the confirming site formation process and high-precision AMS dating on Mal’ta site. In this paper, We would like to make a report on current results of new AMS dating and new situation from new excavation in Mal’ta site.
