Non-metric dental characteristics of the Cis-Olkhon Glazkovo population (based on the materials of the Tuakhane IX burial ground)1
The new updated cultural and chronological periodization of the Cis-Baikal region, suggesting the absence of continuity between the Kitoy and Serovo–Glazkovo culture, actualizes the problem of the origin of the late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age populations of the region. The purpose of this study is to reveal the biological affinities of the Cis-Olkhon Glazkovo population from the Tuakhane IX burial ground based on the analysis of non-metric de…
Neolithic and Early Bronze Age of Cis-Baikal
Analyses of radiocarbon dates (all corrected for the freshwater reservoir effect) and associated stable isotope values obtained from the skeletal remains of ~560 individuals provide many new insights about Middle Holocene hunter-gatherers (HG) of the Cis-Baikal region, Eastern Siberia. The new radiocarbon evidence clarifies the culture history of the region by defining better the boundaries between the chronological (archaeological periods) and c…
Neolithic and Early Bronze Age of Cis-Baikal
Hunter-gatherer archaeology typically focusses on the details of subsistence strategies and material culture and, in the case of cemeteries, on various aspects of mortuary practices, beliefs, and social differentiation. This paper aims to look rather at patterns of change over time and space in how past hunter-gatherer cemeteries were used from Late Mesolithic to Early Bronze Age (~8600–3500 cal BP) in the Cis-Baikal region of Eastern Siberia. Th…

Upper limb musculoskeletal stress markers among middle Holocene foragers of Siberia's Cis‐Baikal region
This evaluation of musculoskeletal stress markers (MSMs) in the Cis‐Baikal focuses on upper limb activity reconstruction among the region's middle Holocene foragers, particularly as it pertains to adaptation and cultural change. The five cemetery populations investigated represent two discrete groups separated by an 800–1,000 year hiatus: the Early Neolithic (8000–7000/6800 cal. BP) Kitoi culture and the Late Neolithic/Bronze Age (6000/5800–4000 …

Activity‐induced dental modification in holocene siberian hunter‐fisher‐gatherers
The use of teeth as tools provides clues to past subsistence patterns and cultural practices. Five Holocene period hunter‐fisher‐gatherer mortuary sites from the south‐western region of Lake Baikal, Siberia, Russian Federation, are observed for activity‐induced dental modification (AIDM) to further characterize their adaptive regimes. Grooves on the occlusal surfaces of teeth are observed in 25 out of 123 individuals (20.3%) and were most likely …

Skeletal growth in early and late Neolithic foragers from the Cis‐Baikal region of Eastern Siberia
Skeletal growth is explored between Early Neolithic (EN) (8000 to 6800 BP) and Late Neolithic (LN) (6000 to 5200 BP) foragers from the Cis‐Baikal region of Eastern Siberia. Previous studies suggest that increased systemic stress and smaller adult body size characterize the EN compared to LN. On this basis, greater evidence for stunting and wasting is expected in the EN compared to LN. Skeletal growth parameters assessed here include femoral and t…

Late Holocene Subsistence Practices Among Cis-Baikal Pastoralists, Siberia
Roughly 3000 years ago, nomadic pastoralists began to arrive in the Cis-Baikal region of eastern Siberia. While the archaeological record of these groups is quite extensive, most research on pastoralists here has focused on mortuary traditions while questions about subsistence practices have been left largely unaddressed. Few habitation sites from the late Holocene here contain stratified deposits, and virtually none have been subject to modern e…
