Analysis of three hearths at a prehistoric site in Ukraine shows that people of the last Ice Age built different types of hearths and used mainly wood, but possibly also bones and fat, to fuel their fires.

The analysis also shows that humans used wood as their main fuel during the peak of the Ice Age , with charcoal analyses indicating spruce wood.

Fire Use During the Last Glacial Maximum: Evidence From the Epigravettian at Korman' 9 , Middle Dniester Valley, Ukraine , is published in Geoarchaeology , 2025 ; 40 ( 2 ) DOI: 10.1002 /gea.70006.
