Geography comments: "Cheremukhovo-1 is one of several karst caves of the Chertovo Gordishche rocky massif situated on the Sos’va River, 3.5 km upstream of the Shegul’tan River mouth in Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia".
Beds 9-12 accumulated during the Late Pleistocene, with dates ranging from 31, 500 ± 1200 to 25, 150 ± 500 BP.

Environment
Lithology: sandstone

Taphonomic context: cave

Archaeology: stone tools

Habitat comments: "The cave is situated 5.5 m above the river flood plain, and is 32 m long in total. Bed 10 contains a moderately compacted brown polymictic fine-grained clayey sand along with abundant limestone boulders and debris. The faunal remains represent a typical cave burial in terms of bone sets and their preservation state. Lithic artifacts consist of 21 items of knapped flint found only in two beds: 20 from Bed 7 and one from Bed 10".
