Most of the Pazyryk burial sites were destroyed and looted by grave-robbers during the Dark Ages. However, a few remained intact to be discovered in 1924 and subsequently exacavated in 1929 and 1947. Decades later, what has been described as the most valuable find in this area of archaeology, was made with the discovery of the Siberian Icemaiden in 1993 by Natalia Polosmak.
