Berelekh猛犸象墓地于1947年首次得到科学描述后而为人所知。“墓地”和“考古遗址”都在20世纪70年代初进行了调查，随后系统调查结束了。本文回顾了各种来源的所有可用数据，并提供了迄今为止为 Berelekh 地质考古综合体获得的 36 个 14C 日期的完整集合。 Berelekh 骨床（或猛犸象墓地）的宿主沉积物在距今 14 世纪 14,000 至 11,000 年间积累，其中骨骼堆积最密集的时期在距今 14 世纪 12,300 左右。同一地点的“墓地”和“考古遗址”在时间上几乎没有重叠。旧石器时代晚期别列赫考古遗址产生于骨床附近的人类居住事件，与对猛犸象天然堆积物的开发有关，猛犸象是象牙和长骨等原材料的宝贵来源。最年轻的猛犸象可追溯到距今 14 世纪 11,800 年。与 Dyuktai 考古文化没有文化关系。 © 2010 Wiley 期刊公司。
The Berelekh mammoth graveyard became known following its first scientific description in 1947. Both the “graveyard” and the “archaeological site” were investigated in the early 1970s, and then systematic investigations ended. This article reviews all the available data from a range of sources and provides a complete set of the 36 14C dates so far obtained for the Berelekh geoarchaeological complex. The host deposits of the Berelekh bone bed (or mammoth graveyard) accumulated between 14,000 and 11,000 14C yr B.P., with the most intensive accumulation of bones around 12,300 14C yr B.P. There is almost no chronological overlap between the “graveyard” and “archaeological site” at the same location. Episodes of human habitation near the bone bed, which produced the Late Palaeolithic Berelekh archaeological site, were related to the exploitation of natural mass mammoth accumulation, which was a valuable source of raw material, such as ivory and long bones. The youngest mammoth remains date to 11,800 14C yr B.P. and have no cultural relation to the Dyuktai archaeological culture. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
