Denisovan Ancestry in East Eurasian and Native American Populations

16 July 2014

Oregon human face on a pebble from the Dennis Boggs portable rock art collection is strikingly similar to one identified in Siberia

Dennis Boggs find, near Irrigon, Oregon, Columbia River Valley

The drawing below is not of this artifact, but of another very similar one identified by Russian archaeologist M.A. Kiriyak. The entire Dennis Boggs collection of more than one hundred iconic objects is interpreted and curated by Ken Johnston, with one thousand additional specimens pending examination and study.

An illustration of an Upper Paleolithic "cobble mask" from Siberia, Russia. Bol'shoi El'gakhchan I site, from Early Art of the Northern Far East by M.A. Kiriyak.
