Description

Woolly Mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) was the main object of hunting for the residents of the Mizyn site. There are bones from 116 individuals of these animals on the site. Ancient humans used these bones to keep the fire burning, together with wood to build dwellings and windscreens, etc. Mammoth tusks and bones were high-quality raw materials not only for artworks but also for household items and tools.
Khvedir Vovk found a needle in the form of a flattened rod with an oval cross-section in 1909 during the excavations of the site. There is a through round hole on the widened conically cut end. The opposite end is slightly narrowed.
The needle has a polished surface and decoration on both sides with parallel incised lines imitating the twist of diagonal threads. Ancient humans used such tools for sewing or braiding.
