This amazing collection of Aenolithic objects was given to the museum by Orsk resident, Alexander Viktorovich Morozov in 2008. He find the objects on the river bank in Kusem.

The originality of this discovery lies in the fact that prepared tools were concentrated in one area, pointing to the high level of technological competence of the people who made them. According to the man who discovered the objects, the objects were spread across an area of 0.5 meters squared, and were red-brown in color. This is most likely due to the mineral paint ochre, which would be sprinkled on a burial in the Eneolithic age. Human teeth were discovered next to the objects. The man’s ochre and teeth are evidence that it was a burial site on the high bank. Burials containing only human jaws sprinkled with ochre are well-known from the Savin sanctuary, the Batay Settlement and the Bestamak Burial ground in Kazakhstan. This suggests that this discovery was certainly some sort of sacred ritual. It is also possible that the skeleton’s bones were not preserved because over time, the river had washed away the bank, and therefore the main part of the burial site.
