Select your answer for: In what year was the Sungir archaeological site uncovered, and what is its estimated age in years according to researchers _____ and ______ years-old burial site.
Show answer

Answer: B. 1955 and 30,000

Explanation

The Upper Paleolithic Sungir archaeological site was discovered in 1955 and dates back 30000 years. Researchers determined the age of the ancient burial site to be approximately 30000 years old. Excavations beginning in 1955 revealed remarkable artifacts buried at the Sungir site. Sungir is an important archaeological site located near Vladimir in Russia. Ice Age burials found at the site contain elaborate beadwork and artifacts crafted by early humans. Radiocarbon dating helps scientists estimate the precise age of prehistoric human settlements.

Paleolithic archaeology provides crucial insights into the burial customs and art of early modern humans. Museum collections display artifacts recovered from ancient sites to educate the public about prehistory. Anthropologists study Ice Age hunter-gatherer societies to understand human evolutionary history. 1950 and 30000 lists an incorrect discovery year for the initial archaeological excavation. 1960 and 32000 misstates both the discovery timeline and the estimated carbon-dated age. 1962 and 32000 is incorrect because the discovery occurred earlier in the 1950s decade.
