Okladnikov Cave, Paleolithic cave in Soloneshensky District, Russia.

The cave extends 35 meters into a hillside, featuring five interconnected corridors and an entrance positioned 14 meters above the Sibiryachikha River.

Archaeological excavations in 1984 uncovered nearly 4000 lithic tools and remains of 20 different animal species, including woolly rhinoceros and cave hyenas.

The site contains 168 hominin fossil elements, confirming the presence of Neanderthals in eastern regions through DNA analysis of teeth and cranial fragments.

The cave faces south along the Sibiryachikha River valley, with geological formations and archaeological layers accessible for research and examination.

Scientists identified seven distinct archaeological layers within the cave, revealing evidence that Neanderthals and cave hyenas alternately occupied this space.
