Salkhit

Salkhit (Mongolian: Салхит, "windy") is a settlement in the Khongor sum (district) of Darkhan-Uul Province in northern Mongolia.

This line was built to the copper producing city of Erdenet in 1975, with Soviet assistance.

[1][2] In 2019, the Salkhit skull was again radiocarbon dated, analyzing hydroxyproline in bone-extracted collagen, placing it in the range 34,950–33,900 cal BP.

Application of a molecular clock to the mtDNA sequence yielded a date for the skull of 12,910 to 39,410 years BP.

The Salkhit individual displayed a complex relationship to the Ancient North Eurasian.
