Young boy was laid to rest all alone with two iron knives, his feet trampling on reindeer bones, wearing elaborate headdress decorated with iron rings.
The burials were on the highest points of the spurs, or hillocks, on Arctic rivers. Picture here and below: Alexander Tkachev
These unique burials, not part of ancient necropolises nor close to each other, were each at the pinnacle of raised spurs beside rivers on the remote Tazovsky peninsula.
So far nine burials have been found, but only two opened - and more may be identified.
