Hydrangeas are well-loved deciduous shrubs that produce large, eye-catching blooms in shades of blue, pink, white, and purple, with the flower color often influenced by the soil’s pH. This is Hydrangea Paniculata. [📹 chaketchaket]

Facial reconstruction of a Neolithic man from Ukraine In 1949–1950, M. Ya. Rudinsky carried out excavations of a large Neolithic burial ground that he had discovered earlier, known as the Volnish burial ground. Based on the type of burials, the position of the skeletons, the grave goods, and the abundance of red ochre, this burial ground was closely related to the well-known Mariupol cemetery. As in the Mariupol burial ground, the burials here are arranged in dense rows, closely packed next to one another. The majority of the interments are accompanied by rich grave inventories. All skeletons lie on their backs, with the arms tightly pressed to the body and the legs extended. The inventory is represented by a large number of stone and bone tools. In addition, fish and animal bones were often found on and around the skeletons. The skull, densely covered in red ochre, was described by Mikhail Gerasimov as large and massive, with a very great cranial length of 196 mm, a small cranial breadth of 136 mm, and a wide cheek breadth of 142 mm. Mikhail Gerasimov describes the skull as follows: The brow ridges protrude strongly; their projection exceeds that of the glabella. The brow ridges are wide and fused with the upper margins of the orbits. The bases of the zygomatic arches are wide. The zygomatic processes of the temporal bones are massive. The temporal lines are very well developed. The mastoid processes are very large and wide; their surface is flat. The occipital bone is long, very narrow, and laterally compressed in the area of the superior nuchal line. The occipital protuberance is weakly expressed; it is rounded and has a smooth surface. The face is pentagonal in shape, very high, with wide and massive cheekbones and strongly protruding angles of the heavy lower jaw; it is strongly profiled. The nasal bridge is high. The orbits are small. The alveolar part is low and orthognathic. The chin is strongly projecting. The orbits are rectangular, with strongly rounded corners. The orbital margins are thickened. The lower orbital margins are elevated. The eye sockets are closed. The lacrimal fossae are deepened. The supraorbital tubercles are weakly expressed and represented by broad, flat surfaces. The inclination of the palpebral fissure is slight. The frontal orientation of the orbits is elevated. The orbital profile is inclined. The zygomatic bones are massive and very wide. The lower portions of the zygomatic bones are displaced forward and elevated. The zygomatic tubercles are strongly developed. The frontal processes of the zygomatic bones are wide and flat. The canine fossae are weakly expressed. The areas for muscle attachment are well developed. The maxillary notches are deep. The alveolar part is very low (12 mm) and orthognathic. The teeth are wide and short, set orthognathically. The height of the first incisor is 6.5 mm. Wear on the incisors and canines has reached complete cross-section of the tooth. The mandible is large, with strongly developed angles, and is very massive. The body of the mandible is very high. The horizontal rami are weakly flared. The mental protuberance reaches 9 points on the scale. The rami of the mandible are very wide and high and diverge at a right angle. The mandibular angles are rounded and strongly everted, with a pronounced crest. The coronoid processes of the mandible are also everted. In terms of its anthropological characteristics, this represents the same type that is already well known to us from skulls from Murzak-Koba, Sursky Island (Type A), and Vinogradny Island. Since the archaeological material has not yet been published, we are currently deprived of the opportunity to precisely establish the chronological position of this individual. If we assume that this burial ground dates to the same period as the early burials of the Mariupol cemetery, then it belongs to the period of the developed Neolithic stage. This gives us the right to state that the anthropological type of ancient Cro-Magnons was conservatively preserved in remote regions up until the 4th–3rd millennia BC. Apparently, survivals of this same anthropological type can also be traced in the skulls of the Yamnaya culture of this region.
