I tend to focus on the newest studies in order to understand what happened in the past, however sometimes old material makes it clear that we will probably not find out, due to the actions of our previous generations.
For instance during the https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000VQ09AO/?tag=pfamazon01-20 of the Vega it was discovered that the north of Siberia and the islands was littered with mammoth remains.
This is reported by D.G. Whitley in "The ivory islands of the Arctic ocean" an article published in the 'Journal of the transactions of the Victoria Institute, or Philosophical Society of Great Brittain' in 1910. Withley documented the trip and collected more tales about the abundance of bones and ivory.

Such was the enormous quantity of mammoths' remains that it seemed to Chwoinoff that the island was actually composed of the bones and tusks of elephants, cemented together by icy sand.
