The well-preserved mammoth remains belonged to two adults, two juveniles and an infant. Their bones were found alongside a Neanderthal hand axe and small flint scrapers that were used to clean animal hides.

Together, they tell the story of the environment of the site hundreds of thousands of years ago.
