Styx (Perm)

The Styx (Russian: Стикс) is a small river in Perm, a left tributary of the Yegoshikha.

Seventeen thousand ago there was a paleolithic settlement Yegoshikha near the mouth of the Styx.

It was explored in 2003 by Kama Archaeological Expedition of Perm State University under the leadership of Andrey Fyodorovich Melnichuk.
