Glazkovskoe predmestie, Archaeological site in Irkutsk, Russia.
The Glazkovsky necropolis spreads across the left bank of the Angara River, containing burial grounds from the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods.
Archaeologist Nikolai Vitkovsky first discovered human bones and artifacts at the site in 1887 during the construction of an orphanage.
The excavated graves reveal burial practices where bodies were placed facing northeast and covered with red ochre, accompanied by stone axes and jade ornaments.
The archaeological complex occupies 400 square meters within the Paris Commune Park in the Sverdlovsky district of Irkutsk.
The necropolis contains the only known burial worldwide where researchers found a northern wolf skeleton holding a human skull in its paws.
