Ice Age People Built Sophisticated Fireplaces, Used Mainly Wood to Fuel Their Fires

Archaeologists have discovered and analyzed three hearths at the Upper Paleolithic site (45,000 to 10,000 years ago) of Korman’ 9 on the right bank of the Dniester River in Ukraine. Their findings show that Ice Age humans built different types of hearths and used mainly wood, but possibly also bones and fat, to fuel their fires.

Murphree et al. provide high-resolution geoarchaeological research into three combustion features associated with Epigravettian occupations at the site of Korman’ 9 in Ukraine with ages falling in the Last Glacial Maximum.
