Zaraysk - 7 000 years of Ice age history. Documentary follows the Zaraysk archaeological expedition

During seven thousand years, long before the emergence of the nowaday town, a series of settlements had been here that has now made Zaraysk world-famous. The Zaraysk site belongs to the Gravettian culture grouping which was spread in the span from Western Europe to the Russian plain. Unique art objects finds, millennia of ancient cultures’ evolution, problems of Paleolithic population’s migration – every year scientists peer into this abyss of time and mystery through the narrow embrasures of the Zaraysk fortress.
