Mednikova M.B., Moiseyev V.G., Khartanovich V.I. Structure of manual tubular bones of inhabitants of the Upper Palaeolithic sites Kostenki 14 and 8 (evolutionary and bioarchaeological aspects) // Vestnik Moskovskogo Universiteta. Seria XXIII. Antropologia. 2016. No 1. pp 20-34.

In a pilot study tubular bones of hands of representatives of the Upper Palaeolithic Age from site Kostenki 14 (or markina Gora) and Kostenki 8 (or Telmanovskaya site) have been described. Traditional metric methods have been used. The inner structure has been tested by microfocus X-ray and by the microCT. The presence of indicators of physiological stress (Harris lines) has been recorded. Cross-sectional geometry of tubular bones has been considered.
