Results of Long-term Research of the Russian-Canadian Project in the Baikal Region (1997–2025)
Thе paper summarizes research on Neolithic to Bronze Age hunter-gatherers of the Cis-Baikal region conducted by the long-term Russian-Canadian project. The paper presents key findings of joint fieldwork at large cemeteries and stratified camp sites on the coast of Lake Baikal and on the Upper Lena River. The new high-quality and informative materials characterize various cultural and chronological periods of the Holocene (mainly the Neolithic and…
Early Neolithic Complexes of the Buguldeika 1 Geoarchaeological Site (Western Coast of Lake Baikal)
For the first time, the materials of the Early Neolithic complexes (cultural layers 7 and 8) of the multilayered site Buguldeika 1 on western coast of Lake Baikal, excavated in 2016 by A. A. Timoschenko and E. N. Bocharova, are introduced in full. A comparative analysis of materials from layers 7 and 8 showed that these complexes are largely homogeneous in nature (in terms of production and typology of ceramics and stone items). The differences l…
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…
Multilayered Geoarchaeological Sites of the Lake Baikal Coast
The article summarizes and analyzes information on 16 multilayered geoarchaeological sites of the Lake Baikal coast, including the famous Ulan-Khada site. The research is based on the results of excavations, literary and archival materials. A list of local sites has been determined, their mapping, archaeological assessment, and radiocarbon data (153 dates, mostly AMS) have been analyzed. These sites are provided with stratigraphic, geological, an…
First Radiocarbon Data for the Middle Neolithic Burials from the Southern Angara Region (Report)
In the Neolithic studies of the Cis-Baikal, the problem of hiatus (break in mortuary traditions) remains topical. According to the latest data, adjusted for the freshwater reservoir effect, it manifests itself over a period of about 600 years (6660–6060 cal BP). During the implementation of the project “Missing Link: The Problem of Identification of Middle Neolithic Burials on the Territory of Baikal-Yenisei Siberia”, carried out under the guidan…
Some Results of Technological and Morphological Analysis of the Middle Neolithic Pottery from the Southwestern Lake Baikal Coast (Based on Materials of the Pad Dolgaya 2 Site)
This article presents the results of a technical and morphological analysis of Middle Neolithic pottery from the multilayered site Pad Dolgaya 2 that located on the southwestern coast of Lake Baikal. The pottery collection includes 574 fragments from at least 13 vessels. It has been established that the raw material for all the pottery of the layer was heavily sandy, ferruginous clay with a natural admixture of sand and fine quartz. The compositi…
New Data on the Economic Activity of Ancient Population on the Little Sea of Lake Baikal (Based on Fauna Materials from the Shrakshura 3 Site)
The article discusses the results of fauna materials' analysis from the complexes of the Shrakshura 3 site, situated on the northwestern coast of Mukhor Bay (Little Sea of Lake Baikal). The analysis of 5862 animals’ bones and teeth obtained from three cultural layers of this site was carried out. The methodology is based on the taxonomic diversity study among identifiable animal species, the number of species and their quantitative indicators. Mo…
Iron Age of Cis-Olkhon Region in the 1st Millennium AD (Based on Materials from Sagan-Zaba 2 Site)
For the first time in the Baikal region, at the multilayered site Sagan-Zaba 2 (the western coast of Lake Baikal), it was possible to distinguish several layers of different periods of the Iron Age (upper 3–1 cultural layers) in clear stratigraphic conditions. The criteria for identifying the cultural complexes were their stratigraphic position, morpho-typological features of the inventory, and a comparative analysis with the materials of burial …
Chronology of the Neolithic Ceramics of Baikal-Yenisei Siberia
There are two main research areas in the Neolithic studies of the Baikal-Yenisei Siberia. One of them relates to research of mortuary traditions, another with a research of hunter-gatherer’s campsites. Ceramics is of the greatest importance for the cultural identification of campsites complexes. As a result of the Canadian-Russian project, for the Neolithic burials a clear chronological model based on AMS radiocarbon dates corrected for the fresh…
Results and Prospects of the Study of Neolithic Sites on the Lake Baikal Coast
The article aims to generalize the information on the Neolithic sites of the Baikal coast identified for all period of the research, to evaluate their significance and prospects for further study. It is based on literary, archival materials and the results of our own field work. A list of objects (93 sites) was determined, their mapping was done, preliminary dating was clarified, data on radiocarbon dates ware collected (48 dates for 12 sites). A…
Morphological Analysis and Dating of Pottery from the Posolskaya Site (Based on the Excavations of E. A. Khamzina in 1959)
The analysis of pottery materials of Posolskaya site (excavations by E. A. Khamzina in 1959), which is located on the southeast coast of Lake Baikal (Kabansk district, the Republic of Buryatia), is carried out in this article. Based on morphological features, several groups of pottery with a set of characteristic features are identified. A comparison of them with the materials of supporting multilayer objects on the coast of Baikal and Cis-Baikal…
Results and Prospects of Research of Slab Graves of Cis-Olkhon (Coast of Lake Baikal)
The article is devoted to summing up the results of the study of slab graves in the Cis-Olkhon (the western coast of Baikal from Cape Elokhin to the Bolshaya Buguldeika River, including Olkhon Island). The existence of this culture refers to the Late Bronze – Early Iron Ages. The Cis-Olkhon and the Kuda steppes of the Baikal region are the northern border of the spread of this culture, the center of which is Mongolia and Transbaikalia. The work i…

Portable Sculptures from Neolithic and Bronze Age Habitation Sites near Lake Baikal
Portable sculpture provides important information on past worldviews, the ways various objects were perceived, and subsistence activities. This study addresses fi gurines from Neolithic and Bronze Age habitation sites on Lake Baikal relying on a summary of published specimens and those from recent excavations, totaling 32 intact and fragmentary fi gurines from twelve sites. Chronology, assessed on the basis of stratigraphic observations and radio…
Holocene Seal Imagery in the Lake Baikal Region of Eastern Siberia1
For over 9000 years, seals were a major food source for many groups of foragers living in the Lake Baikal region of Eastern Siberia, as evidenced by the frequency of seal bones in the Holocene sites of that area. This article introduces new representations of seals and summarizes previously known seal depictions. Seal images were rather common in rock art and portable sculpture. Also, Neolithic and Bronze Age foragers used seal bones in manufactu…
Use of ulan-khada bay at lake baikal in the holocene (based on fauna remains)

A complete analysis of the fauna assemblage obtained over the course of long-term excavations is given. For the fi rst time, the site's ichthyofauna is described. The mammalian species composi…
Anthropomorphic, Zoomorphic, and Solar Symbolisms on Bronze Age Ceramics From the Western Baikal Region
Artistic features and semantics of anthropomorphic, zoomorphic, and solar images on Bronze Age ceramics from the Western Baikal region are described. Themes and stylistic characteristics of images on ceramics are paralleled by petroglyphs found in the same area. Anthropomorphic images on ceramics fall into four stylistic groups. Representations of the Baikal ceramics resemble those on the contemporaneous Samus pottery found in Western Siberia. Th…
