A Bronze Age site, Uushigiin Uver contains 14 upright carved deer stones, some with splendid white design against an ochre-coloured background, plus sacrificial altars (keregsuur ). This remarkable collection is located 20km west of Mörön, and about 1km north of the Delgermörön Gol. The area is enclosed by a fence and small placards describe the stones. The most unique, stone 14, is topped with the head of a woman; there are only a handful of such deer stones in Mongolia. The carved stones are 2500 to 4000 years old, and the nearby mountain range contains about 1400 burial tombs. When we visited, the whole area was alive with Russian archaeologists digging for possible burial remains.
