Past Horizons Archaeology. History, Travel, Arts, Science, People, Places. Denisova hominin. Discovery[edit] Tourists in front of the Denisova Cave, where "X woman" was found In 2008, Russian archaeologists from the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology of Novosibirsk, working at the site of Denisova Cave in the Altai Mountains of Siberia, uncovered a small bone fragment from the fifth finger of a juvenile hominin, dubbed the "X woman" (referring to the maternal descent of mitochondrial DNA,[11]) or the Denisova hominin.

Artifacts, including a bracelet, excavated in the cave at the same level were carbon dated to around 40,000 BP. A team of scientists led by Johannes Krause and Swedish biologist Svante Pääbo from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, sequenced mtDNA extracted from the fragment. In 2011, a toe bone was discovered in layer 11 of the cave, and hence was contemporary with the finger bone.
