However, many accessible areas are still poorly understood in terms of vertebrate fossils. Perhaps one of the reasons for this is hidden in the confrontation between two diametrically opposed concepts of the paleogeographic development of the region: ice-marine, based on the assumption of a broad development of marine transgressions and the separation of terrigenous material by drifting ice and icebergs (Chochia and Evdokimov, 1993), and glacial (which is held by most scientists, including the authors of the article). based on the hypothesis of repeated continental glaciations in the northern part of Western Siberia and the spread of extensive glacial-dam basins (Volkov, 1969; Arkhipov and Volkova, 1994). Lugovskoye, located 25 km west of Khanty-Mansiysk (1 km south-east of the former village of Akhtino), is the only location with massive remains of mammoth fauna and the only one in the district with Paleolithic artifacts. The name comes from the village. 1). The locality is located in the Ob River Valley, in the extreme south-east of the Sosva-Belogorsky district, within the Northern (glacial) lithofacial zone (Unified Regional Stratigraphic Scheme..., 2000). It is confined to the marginal eroded part of the left-bank I floodplain terrace of the Maramka Channel, the southernmost (ex ... Читать далее
