Interregional and Local Connections between Communities of the Belozerka Culture in the Northern Black Sea Region (by Published Data and Thin Section Analysis of Ceramics from Settlements and
The article overviews the interregional and local connections between groups of the Belozerka culture in the Northern Black Sea region. Earlier these connections were traced on the base of contemporary typology (metal items, partly ceramics, products made of different materials) and mapping. A recent research basing relies on the isotopic geochemical signatures (87Sr/86Sr) and is evident of the mobility of people from the coastal marine settlemen…
Mesolithic-Neolithic Multi-layer Wetland Complex Serteya II
Changes in the ecosystem may be an important factor influencing the evolution of ancient communities. Wetland sites are among the most valuable “natural archives” for ancient history and environmental change reconstruction. Multidisciplinary research at the Serteya II site, located in the Dnieper-Dvina basin, allowed revealing the sequence of historical and natural events from 8,000 to 3,000 BC based on “natural archives”. The paleolandscape was …
Zamil-Koba 3 Site
The article presents the results of a complex interdisciplinary study of the Late Mesolithic cultural layer of the Zamil-Koba 3 — the only “pure” single-layer Final Mesolithic site in the Mountainous Crimea. New geomorphological, palynological, paleozoological, paleobotanical and malacological data, as well as radiocarbon dates on organic samples from hearths, were obtained as a result of the archaeological study of the site. The characteristics …
An Upper Second Molar from Akhshtyrskaya Cave and Population Affinities of the Middle Paleolithic Hominins of the Caucasus
Ахштырская пещерная стоянка находится на Северо-Западном Кавказе и датируется преимущественно среднепалеолитическим временем. В 1961 г. при обработке фаунистической коллекции из слоя 3а был обнаружен постоянный верхний второй моляр Homo (AKH 1), первоначально определенный как принадлежащий Homo sapiens fossilis. В данной статье приводятся новые результаты изучения данной находки. Они получены на основании анализа внешней и внутренней морфологии A…
Technological Traces on Bone Artefacts from the Late Mesolithic Forest Zone
The Mesolithic population inhabiting the Eastern European Forest zone demonstrated remarkable skill in processing bone raw materials and crafting a diverse array of implements for both strategic and domestic purposes. Our knowledge these tools and their production methods stems largely from wetland sites in the region, which have preserved an extensive collection of artеfacts – including finished products, blanks, and cuttings bearing clear techn…
On the Mousterian origin of bone-tipped hunting weapons in Europe
An Upper Second Molar from Akhshtyrskaya Cave and Population Affinities of the Middle Paleolithic Hominins of the Caucasus
The Akhshtyrskaya cave site in northwestern Caucasus dates mostly to the Middle Paleolithic. In 1961, during the analysis of faunal assemblage from layer 3a, a permanent upper second molar of Homo (AKH 1) was discovered. Initially, it was attributed to fossil Homo sapiens. Here, we present new findings related to this specimen, specifically to its external and internal morphology, amount of enamel and dentine in the lateral part of its crown, and…
New evidence on the Late Bronze – Early Iron Age human nutrition in the Crimea (northern Pontic Region) based on the stable isotope analysis and radiocarbon dating
The application of geochemical methods (stable isotope δ13C, δ15N analysis, chemical elemental analysis and radiocarbon dating) for studying human and animal bones from burials and cultural layers of archaeological sites of Crimea made it possible to highlight the issues of the development of agriculture and cattle-bгeeding during the Late Bronze – Early Iron Ages. One of the controversial questions is the problem of transition from sedentary for…
Impact of Paleoclimatic Changes on the Cultural and Historical Processes at the Turn of the Late Bronze—Early Iron Ages in the Northern Black Sea Region
The Late Bronze Age crisis is one of the most significant events in human history an had occurred in about 1200 BCE. The aridization was one the reasons of a decline of agriculture, migrant expansion and the transition to nomadic style of life. In Eastern Mediterranean the collapse of the advanced civilizations such as the Mycenaean, Hittite, Canaanite, Akkadian occurred in this time. The reconstruction of cultural-historical processes at the tur…
Maxillary second molar from the Rozhok I Micoquian site (Azov Sea region)
A Case of Chronic Maxillary Sinusitis in a Late Neanderthal Population of the Altai Mountains
We describe a likely case of chronic maxillary sinusitis (CMS) in a Neanderthal skeletal sample from Chagyrskaya Cave, in the Altai Mountains. Signs of CMS were recorded in the Chagyrskaya 57 specimen, which is a fragment of a left maxilla. Alveoli of the upper fi rst molar are partially preserved, and so are the second and third upper molars, with adjacent parts of the walls, and the fl oor of the maxillary sinus. The fragment was found in layer…
Pottery of Early Iron Age from the Glinjeni II-La Șanț (North-Western Pontic Sea Region)
Transition to the Early Iron Age was marked by the appearance of innovations such as iron technology and changes in the lifestyle of local societies on the territory of the North-Western Pontic Sea region. One of the most interesting sites of this period is the Glinjeni II-La Șanț fortified settlement, located in the Middle Dniester basin (Republic of Moldova). Materials of different cultural traditions belonged to the Cozia-Saharna culture (10th…

Composition of white paste inlay on the pottery from sites of the 10th–8th centuries bce in the northern Pontic region
For the first time, the mineralogical–geochemical compositions of the white paste inlay found on vessels from sites (10th–8th centuries bce ) in the northern Pontic region are investigated. Samples of the white paste on vessels from settlements, burials of sedentary groups and graves of early nomads were analysed by means of scanning electron microscopy with energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectrometry (SEM‐EDX) and X‐ray diffraction (XRD) methods. Betwe…
Reassessment of the cranial and dental data from the Upper Paleolithic site of Kostenki 15
In the article we present new results of the study of the child skull found in a burial at the Upper Paleolithic site of Kostenki 15 (Gorodtsov site). While the CT analysis of the earlier reconstructed skull revealed high level of destruction of the morphologically important landmarks which prevents from using the conventional cranial metric characteristics of the individual in population studies, the analysis of its dental morphology was shown t…
The Use of Computed Tomography for the Study of Chronic Maxillary Sinusitis
We discuss the methodological advantages of using X-ray computed tomography (CT) for diagnosing chronic maxillary sinusitis (CMS) of various etiologies on skeletal samples. A CT examination of 20 crania from the Pucará de Tilcara fortress, Argentina (late 8th to 16th centuries AD), was carried out. Criteria for identifying CMS included osteitic lesions in the form of focal destruction, and thickened and sclerotized walls of maxillary sinuses. To …
Mesolithic Human Teeth from Zamostye-2, Moscow Region
We describe the morphology of deciduous and permanent human teeth from Zamostye-2—a Mesolithic site in the Moscow Region, Russia. Pathological changes indicate a variable diet, including both animal and vegetable food. Non-metric analysis reveals several Upper Paleolithic retentions, but the overall combination is insufficient for tracing population affinities. Metrically, permanent teeth from Zamostye are similar to those from the Mesolithic bur…
Methods of Natural Sciences for the Reconstruction of the Ceramics Firing
The reconstruction of the Early Iron Age ceramics firing from the Northern Black Sea region is a part of the project`s tasks of studying the ceramics of mobile and sedentary communities in the region (early nomads and the forest-steppe population). The ceramics firing process and the content of mineral phases were determined by DTA-TG methods. Data are given on five samples from the settlements of Glinjeni II-La Shanz and Subotiv, as well as the …
