The Mga marine formation of the Last Interglacial in the Neva Lowland (NW Russia)
Dental adaptations and diet of cave hyena Crocuta spelaea (Carnivora, Hyaenidae) from the Upper Pleistocene of Tip-Tugai cave, Southern Ural
In this study we describe the dentition of cave hyena Crocuta spelaea (Goldfuss, 1823) from Tip-Tugai cave (Southern Urals, Late Pleistocene) using morphometric and morphological analysis and investigate its dietary preferences using analysis of dental microwear and taphonomy of the locality. Crocuta spelaea from Tip-Tugai cave are generally similar to other C. spelaea in tooth morphology and size, but one p4 specimen of the Tip-Tugai hyena is la…
Dogs in Funerary Practices of Bronze Age Populations of the Ural-Kazakhstan Steppes

Purpose . During the Early Iron Age, three cultures existed in the Surgut-Ob River region: the Beloyarsk and Kalinkinskaya cultures (7 th – 4 th centuries BC) and the Kulai culture (4 th – 3 rd centuries BC – 3 rd – 4 th centuries AD). Horse bones have been found in some settlements belonging to these cultures. The aim of this study is to describe these finds and the methods of horse use. Materials and Methods. Horse remains from 11 settlements a…
Dogs in Funerary Practices of Bronze Age Populations of the Ural-Kazakhstan Steppes
This article presents the results of a study of grave goods and the composition of sacrificial animals in burials of the Sintashta culture in the Ural-Kazakhstan steppes. Two burial samples (one including dogs and the other without dogs) were examined in order to test the hypothesis that individuals interred with dogs held a high social status. Particular attention is paid to the results of a correspondence analysis conducted to compare the funer…
Variation in Game and Domestic Animal Ratios in the 7th—5th Millennia BCE in the Lower Volga Region
This paper presents the analysis results of the species composition found in sites dating to the 7th—5th millennia BCE. These sites are either monocultural, or multicultural where the cultural layers belonging to different periods are separated from each other by sterile layers. As a result, we were able to trace the variation through time in the ratios of game/domestic animals in the Neolithic — Eneolithic periods. In the Early Neolithic, the ku…
Archaeozoological Studies on the Settlement of Miners and Metallurgists of the Late Bronze Age near the Ancient Ishkininsky Copper Mine (Southern Urals)
Using historical and ethnographic data, the paper reconstructs the model of cattle breeding based on the archaeozoological study of the osteological collection from Ishkinovka settlement of miners and metallurgists, dated to the late Bronze Age. It was established that the foundation of the life support system was mobile cattle breeding with seasonal rotation of pastures and water sources. Hunting provided additional resources. In places of summe…
The case of a mass death of livestock in the Early Iron Age in the steppe zone of Kazakhstan
A mass burial of complete and almost complete cattle and small ruminant skeletons found in a pit within the Early Iron Age settlement of Abylai in Central Kazakhstan (49°15'N, 75°07'E) has been studied. The results of archaeological research and archeozoological contexts have shown that the animals' burial was a single event. The aim of the work was to determine the reasons for the formation of this accumu-lation. The analysis of skeletal element…
Informative Capacity of the Sargat Culture’s Disturbed Burials
The article deals with a complex study of the materials obtained during archaeological excavation of the kurgan Novopokrovka 16 in the middle Irtysh river basin (Omsk region). The site, which is attributed to the Sargat culture (5th century BC – second half of the 3rd century AD), was located farmost on the right bank of the river Irtysh, nearby the group of “Princely kurgans”. Despite almost total disturbance by robbers and agricultural activity…
An Early Iron Age Metallurgical ”Plant” in the Ural Mountains
The authors describe the westernmost metallurgical center of the 5th—2nd centuries BC left by the aboriginal Itkul’ culture of the forest Trans-Urals in 8th/7th—3rd/2 nd centuries BC. It was founded in the upper reaches of the Ufa river, in Serny Klyuch tract, on top of a high (20—25 m) limestone rock with three steep edges, on the ruins of sites and settlements of the Eneolithic and Bronze Age. After the construction of the first copper-smelting…

Variability in feeding habitats of red deer sensu lato in Eurasia in the Late Pleistocene and Holocene
Seasonality of Sintashta Funerary Rites (Based on the Kamennyi Ambar-5 Bronze Age Cemetery)
Based on archaeological materials from the Kamennyi Ambar-5 cemetery, we test the hypothesis about the connection between the seasonality of pastoral practices and funerary rites during the Late Bronze Age (early 2nd millennium BC). We studied growth layers in the teeth of 24 cows, 19 sheep/goats, 14 horses, a dog, and ten humans from 17 graves. We combined samples from various species from the same contexts into eight assemblages. With regard to…
Environmental changes in the Middle Urals during Briansk interstadial
Small cave bear (U. ex gr. savini-rossicus) as a game species of prehistoric man
Imanay Cave is located in the Southern Urals (53°02' N, 56°26' E), at 420 m.a.s.l. A 9.5 m2 trench was exca-vated in the grotto in the inner part of the cave to examine the sediments. The accretion thickness was 1.2 m. The taphocoenosis of the Imanay Cave is of the Pleistocene age and contains about 10,000 specimens of bone re-mains of large mammals. They mostly belong to small cave bear (U. ex gr. savini-rossicus), and the remaining bones — to s…
Reindeer Demographics at Iarte VI, Iamal Peninsula, Arctic Siberia
This study focuses on constructing a demographic profile for a large set of reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) remains from the Iron Age Iarte VI site on the Iamal Peninsula in Siberia. Iarte VI produced one of the largest reindeer assemblages in the entire Arctic, totalling ∼22,000 specimens. Age assessment is conducted by examining teeth eruption sequences in 686 mandibular fragments. Sex identification is based on analysis of 595 os coxae through vi…
Th dating of flowstone from Ignatievskaya Cave, Russia
Paleolithic antiquity of parietal art in Ignatievskaya cave, Southern Ural, is supported by its subject (Late Pleistocene animals) as well as by paleontological and palynological data, and 14 C dates from cultural layers associated with artistic activity (17.8-16.3 cal ka BP; association is established by finds of ochre in these layers). However, three 14 C dates of charcoal motifs yielded younger, Holocene ages (7.4-6.0 cal ka BP). In this study…

Seasonal pattern of domestic cattle slaughtering in the Late Bronze Age Tanalyk settlement (Southern Ural)
The settlement of Tanalyk (Bashkortostan) is the most fully studied household object of the Late Bronze Age in the territory of Southern Ural. The pottery assemblage allows attributing it to the Srubnaya - Alakul type. The majority of bone remains in this site belong to domestic animals, and the number of wild species remains is ex-tremely small. There is no evidence of farming in the Late Bronze Age. Thus, the subsistence of the Tanalyk populati…

Quaternary large mammals from the Imanay Cave
The origin of farming in the Lower Volga Region
The paper focuses on the results of archaeological, palaezoological, and radiocarbon analyses of Neolithic and Eneolithic sites in the Northern Caspian and Lower Volga regions. New analyses show that only wild animal species inhabited the territory in the Neolithic. Animals were not domesticated until the Eneolithic period
Patterns of Change in a Nenets Landscape
Rise and Fall of the Beringian Steppe Bison
The widespread extinctions of large mammals at the end of the Pleistocene epoch have often been attributed to the depredations of humans; here we present genetic evidence that questions this assumption. We used ancient DNA and Bayesian techniques to reconstruct a detailed genetic history of bison throughout the late Pleistocene and Holocene epochs. Our analyses depict a large diverse population living throughout Beringia until around 37,000 years…
