Preliminary Results of the Study of the Oy-Muran Neolithic Burial Complex on the Middle Lena River (Sakha Republic (Yakutia))
The article presents preliminary results of 2025 excavations of the Neolithic burial complex in the Oy-Muran locality on the Lena River. The conducted investigations revealed two soil burials: a paired burial and a separate burial of a skull.

A Metric Analysis of a Human Cranium from the Khatystyr Cave, Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)
В работе представлены результаты исследования краниологических материалов раннеголоценового времени, обнаруженных в пещере у с. Хатыстыр (Якутия) в 1962 г. Для черепа мужчины, погребенного в пещере, были получены измерения восьми признаков. На их основании был сделан дискриминантный канонический анализ с использованием индивидуальных данных по 14 древним выборкам с территории Сибири и Дальнего Востока, рассчитана матрица евклидовых расстояний меж…
A Metric Analysis of a Human Cranium from the Khatystyr Cave, Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)
We present the results of a metric study of a male Early Holocene cranium found in a cave near the Khatystyr village , Yakutia , in 1962. Eight measurements taken on the specimen were subjected to canonical discriminant analysis , using individual data on 14 ancient samples from Siberia and the Far East. Euclidean distances between these samples were calculated , and k- means clustering was performed . Results revealed similarity of the Khatystyr…
The Early Iron Age Chuya Burial from Central Yakutia Scientific novelty
The spread of metal and metal production technology in the Far Northeast and Alaska over the second millennium BC to the first millennium AD
Findings and traces of early metallurgical production in the Far Northeast of Asia and Alaska show that the spread of bronze and iron metallurgy took place mainly along the Lena River towards of the Far Northeast, as well as to Taimyr. Spread of metallurgical technology is confirmed by the casting mould for a burin or awl, which was discovered in Eastern Chukotka on the Amguema River. However, metals in Chukotka were obviously too rare to trade u…
Matta, a Neolithic Burial in Central Yakutia. Results of an Anthropological Analysis
The article is dedicated to the results of a complex anthropological investigation of the Late Neolithic Matta burial complex. The burial was found in Megino-Kangalas district of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) in 1996. Radiocarbon dates obtained from the human bones fall to the second half of the III millennium BC, the time when two Late Neolithic archaeological cultures — Ymyjakhtakh and Belkachi — existed in the region. Burial customs described i…
Comparative analysis of a Stone Age human tooth fragment from Khaiyrgas Cave on the Middle Lena (Yakutia, Russian Federation)
In 1999, during the excavation of Khaiyrgas Cave on the Middle Lena River in Yakutia (in the Russian Federation), a fragmented human deciduous tooth was discovered in the upper 5th (Paleolithic) horizon, at the contact with the 4th (Mesolithic) horizon. The cave is one of a number of interesting Upper Paleolithic sites on the Lena, located at the border of two cultural regions: Lake Baikal and Yakutia. Previous findings indicate active cultural a…
A Medieval Yakut Burial Near Lake Atlasovskoye of the 14th–15th Centuries
The burial near Lake Atlasovskoye, Yakutia, is one of the earliest Yakut burials, dating back to the 14th or 15th centuries and associated with the medieval Kulun-Atakh culture. Initially, its age was assessed by the comparative typological method based on artifacts, and later а radiocarbon estimate was generated, suggesting that the burial dates to the early stage of the Kulun-Atakh culture. Its highly unusual feature is that the individual was …
Kyordyughen Site, Ymyiakhtakh Culture, Yakutia
A series of radiocarbon dates for the Late Neolithic burial at Kyordyughen, Yakutia, support its association with the Ymyiakhtakh culture. The article proposes a new interpretation of the burial rite in the context of the site. Possible reasons for the disruption of the burial are presented. The presence of the dismembered remains of another body may indicate the practice of human sacrifice. The emergence of warriors as a social group is discusse…
