A Prehistoric Maritime Culture of the Okhotsk Sea
This paper analyzes the culture history of the little-known Okhotsk culture and makes suggestions about its relationships with neighboring cultures. The Okhotsk culture is important in understanding the cultural history of the northern Pacific because it shows no affinities with the Ainu and Japanese cultures and has an economy remarkably like that of the more distant Aleut and Eskimo. The Okhotsk culture appears to have historical relationships …

Japanese Source Materials on the Archaeology of the Kurile Islands
The Paleolithic of Trans-Baikal
Paleolithic remains, mostly surface finds from blowouts, are known from 63 sites in the Trans-Baikal, one of the five large regional subdivisions of the Siberian Paleolithic. Most important recent discoveries are the stratified sites of Oshurkovo and Sannyi Mys and the Pleistocene faunal sequence on Tologoi Mountain. Characteristic stone tools are made from whole or split pebbles and from blades removed from prismatic cores. Bone artifacts, known…

Routes to Bering Strait
Maximum glaciation in eastern Siberia, the final glaciation, the mountainous area, and the land area exposed by moderate lowerings of sea level are plotted on a map to illustrate that two routes from northeast Asia to northwest North America were available for human movements. The southern route along the coastal shelf may have played a more significant role in the initial settlement of the New World than did the northern route along the Arctic s…

Preceramic Cultures in Japan
New World Origins: A Reappraisal
It has been the general assumption that all the oldest New World cultures were direct importations from Asia-more specifically, from Siberia-and that the prototypes for their distinctive features must be sought in this latter area. A number of successive migrations by very different groups have been taken for granted to account for the varied archaeological picture in Palaeo-Indian times, to say nothing of the subsequent linguistic and physical d…
The Age of Feather Tempering in Alaska
J. L. Giddings has been kind enough to call my attention to an oversight in my recent note on the occurrence of organic tempering in northeast Asia and Alaska (Chard 1958), wherein the data adduced indicated a relatively recent date for the use of feather temper on the Alaskan side. Giddings' own excavations in oval house pits on the Choris Peninsula have revealed a thin, well-fired pottery much like that designated as 'Norton linear-stamped,' bu…

Organic Tempering in Northeast Asia and Alaska
Alaskan pottery techniques are distinguished by considerable use of a variety of organic tempering materials, in marked contrast to the rest of aboriginal North America. So pronounced a focus on the threshhold of the New World would suggest that the practice might have been borrowed from Asia. It will therefore be of interest to ascertain the status of organic tempers in northeastern Asia as compared with Alaska

The Southwestern Frontier of Eskimo Culture
In a recent summary of our knowledge of Eskimo archaeology in Siberia (Chard 1955b) the present writer cited a reference to the existence of remains of underground houses on the west side of Anadyr Gulf, and inferred from this a possible extension of prehistoric Eskimo culture in this area considerably to the west of its presently known range. One of these rumored sites has now been investigated, with highly interesting results (Okladnikov and Na…
The Oldest Sites of Northeast Siberia
The following survey is intended to cover that portion of Asia lying nearest to the New World and hence presumably most closely related thereto historically and culturally - that is, the lower Lena basin and the region lying east of it, forming the northeastern extension of the continent. For the sake of precision we will set as limits the 110th meridian on the west and latitude 62°, roughly that of Yakutsk, on the south.As in comparable regions …
Chronology and Culture Succession in the Northern Kuriles
In recent years the Okhotsk Sea region has become of increasing interest to students of New World cultural origins and relationships, particularly with regard to the problem of the Aleutians as a diffusion channel. But any real attack on this problem has been hampered by the gross inadequacy of the data. The few available sources in western languages are far from satisfactory; and attempts to augment these by utilizing illustrations from Japanese…

An Early Pottery Site in the Chukchi Peninsula
Discovery of a second small prehistoric site in the interior of the Chukchi Peninsula during the summer of 1952 is of interest despite the paucity of the material recovered. The finds, including the first pottery from the region, are sufficient to shed some light on a littleknown area whose past is of great concern to Americanists. Okladnikov's report (1953) forms the basis for this account.The first interior site, consisting of surface finds on …
