Initial Results of an Analysis of Raw-Material Units from the Early Upper Paleolithic Assemblage at the Tuyana Site in the Tunka Valley, Southwestern Cis-Baikal
This article presents the first results of an analysis of raw-material units from the Early Upper Paleolithic assemblage at the Tuyana site in the Tunka Valley (southwestern Cis-Baikal). The assemblage is dated to ~34–30 ka cal BP and is notable for the discovery of anatomically modern human remains associated with an Early Upper Paleolithic carinated industry. Because these cultural remains were redeposited in ancient times, the issue of technol…
Preceramic Assemblage of the Elovka-Nugan 1 Site in the Tunka Valley
The Tunka Valley remains one of the least studied areas of Baikal-Yenisei Siberia, and the Early Holocene is still a major gap in its archaeological record. Excavations at Elovka-Nugan 1 site in 2025 revealed a preceramic lithic assemblage, attributed here to the Mesolithic on the basis of stratigraphy, typology, and regional comparisons. A buried humic horizon (level 3b) was exposed in one of the test pits sunk into the gentler slope at the foot…
Potential of Multivariate Statistical Methods for Interpreting Portable X-ray Fluorescence Analysis Data from Ceramics
The results of portable X-ray fluorescence analysis (pXRF) of Middle Neolithic ceramics (53 vessels) of Baikal-Yenisei Siberia from excavations at the Ust-Belaya, Derevnya Martynova, Indon, Popovskii Lug, and Generalov sites are presented. It is established that multivariate statistical methods, particularly principal component analysis and cluster analysis, offer the best opportunities for interpreting pXRF data. These methods reduce data dimens…
Variability of the Chemical Composition of Early Neolithic Ceramic Vessels of the Tunka Valley According to Portable X-ray Fluorescence Analysis
This article presents the results of portable X-ray fluorescence analysis (pXRF) conducted on a collection of Early Neolithic ceramics (~8.5–7 ka cal BP) from the Tunka Valley (Southwestern Baikal region). The sample includes 20 vessel fragments from excavations at the Tuyana and Elovka-Nugan 1 sites, located on opposite banks of the Irkut River, 6 km apart. Measurements were carried out using an Olympus Vanta M portable analyzer on sections of t…
Early Holocene Assemblage of the Privodnaya 3 Site (Southern Angara Region)
This article presents an analysis of the archaeological collection obtained as a result of excavations at the Privodnaya 3 site (Southern Angara region) in 2015. During the excavations, Pleistocene and Holocene deposits were uncovered, and two cultural layers were distinguished. The most representative collection is from cultural layer 1. A radiocarbon date corresponding to the Younger Dryas has been obtained for it, but this is likely incorrect,…
Experience in Reconstructing the Stages of Primary Knapping in the Early Holocene of the Southern Angara Region using the Method of Scar-Pattern Analysis (Based on Materials from the Privodnaya 3 Site…
The article presents the results of the scar-pattern analysis of cores of the Early Holocene assemblage of Privodnaya 3 site located on the Angara River (Southern Angara Region). It is mentioned that the method is based on the identification of technological stages by systematizing in chronological order the removal scars observed on the surface of the artifact. The aim of the research is to evaluate the possibilities of the scar-pattern analysis…
