Since the discovery of the burial site, nine others were found near the rivers on the Tazovsky Peninsula. However, only two have been excavated thus far. Just like the discovery on the Gydan, these sites were graves of children.  According to the archaeologists studying the sites, they are quite unusual due to the fact the graves are isolated and not near any burial grounds.
