In December 3 – 4, 2008, the National Museum of Natural History in Paris organized the International Conference within the Program of the National Agency on the Investigation "Mammoths”. It presented the results of the three-year interdisciplinary research of the world known Late Paleolithic site Mezhirich (Ukraine) with four constructions of mammoth bone (dwellings) and the synchronous sites in the Ukraine (Buzhanka 2, Semenivka 1 – 3, Buran-Kaya 3). There were presented new data concerning the stratigraphy and microstratigraphy of the loess layer of the Mezhirich site (Paul Haesaerts, Belgium) and the periods of settlement there (P. Haesaerts, D. Nuzhny, Ukraine, S. Pean, France), paleogeographic reconstructions were based on the results of the palynological (M. Komar, Ukraine), paleobotanical (V. Lebreton and others, France) analysis and on the investigation of microfauna and malakofauna (V. Prisyazhnuk, Ukraine).
The reconstruction of the mammomths’ paleoecology based on the analysis of the stable isotopes was discussed in the report of D. Druker and E. Bosheran, Germany). The examination of the numerous remnants of the mammoth bones (140 specious) and remnants of hare and predators found in four constructions of the site Mezhirich, in pits ¹ 6,7 and 8 and in the cultural layer permitted to approach to the reconstruction of the behavior of the inhabitants of the site (S. Pean). The hunting methods with the discovered stone heads and spears of mammoth tusk were analyzed in the report of D. Nuzhny. The report of V. Lozovsky and O. Lozovskaya (Sergiev Posad, Russia) was dedicated to the results of the technological analysis of the plaques from complex ¹ 3. The results of the investigation of unutilitarian artefacts and decorations of the animal remnants were reflected in the report of M. Laznikova-Galetova (Czechia).
Some reports presented new investigations of other monuments of the Epigravette appearance on the territory of the Ukraine – Buzhanka 2, Semenivka 2 and 3 (D Stupak, P. Shidlovsky, Ukraine), Amvrosievka (O. Krotova, Ukraine, M. Julienne and others, France, Germany), Buran-Kaya 3 (the Epigravette layers) (O. Yanevich, Ukraine, S. Prats, L. Krepin, S. Pean, France). M. Germonpre (Belgium) presented the results of the latest research carried out in co-operation with Russian colleagues at the site of Yudinivo. Professor Marseille Ott (Belgium), Professor Gerhard Bozinsky (Germany-France), Professor Pual Haesaerts (Belgium), Professor Marilen Patu-Matisse (France), etc. took part in the discussion of the relations between man and mammoth at the end of Late Paleolith, of possibilities and principles of hunting, interpretation of the constructions of mammoth bones and of the Epigravette phenomenon in the central and southern Ukraine and Eastern Europe.
