Since that time there have been many archaeological and anthropological studies. The recent years have also seen some genetic research of this small Upper Paleolithic population. Moreover, there are many articles and even books about taxonomic position of the Sungir people, their adaptation to northern conditions, life support and cultural development. This article represents a complete review of literature with description of interpretations and opinions of various scholars. As a result, we make a conclusion that the Sungir people belonged to the Homo sapiens taxon, were well-adapted to northern conditions and had complex funeral rites (since the children buried in the double grave were most probably relatives).

The geological occurrences are well known in Basse-Normandie because they were used into mining industry. The fields are often disappeared today and the samples we took are not always representative. This paper summarizes the main characteristics and the genesis of these oolithic levels. They has been deposited on a subtidal open shelf, exposed to tidal wave activity and located south of the infra-Cambrian continent. The presence of oolithic ironstone artifacts in some archeological sites is an evidence of their use as raw materials for prehistorical red ochres. To compare the geological materials and the archeological artifacts, we set up a protocol of analysis including macroscopic observations, petrography, geochemistry and color analysis. Furthermore, we integrated samples from Belgium and Germany, potentially incriminated in long-distance interchanges in Western Europe.
