Excavations are to be made after the discovery of evidence indicating the world’s most northerly Palaeolithic site on this remote island off the Arctic coast of Yakutia, also known as the Sakha Republic. 

An expedition to Stolbovoy in the eastern Laptev Sea, some 184 km from the mainland, found implements believed to belong to ancient humans at the time when there was a land bridge between modern Siberia and North America, known as Beringia. 

The implements at new Palaeolena site are consistent with being up to 300,000 years old but further research must be conducted, say experts.

300,000 years old would be Denisovans. Not Beringians.
