Sunghir 1’s skeleton is largely complete, making him one of the best-preserved early modern humans from this period. He was unusually old at death: 40–50 years.
His grave was carefully prepared in loess, laid on his back and covered in red ochre.

Sunghir 1 was an adult male who lived between 32,000–24,000 years ago. His remains were found at the Sunghir, near present-day Vladimir, Russia, one of the most important Upper Paleolithic sites in Eurasia.
Excavations since the 1950s revealed rich deposits and multiple burials.
