Late Pleistocene to Early Holocene Paleoclimatic Boundaries and Human Settlement of the East Siberian Arctic
This article examines archaeological records relating to the East Siberian Arctic in the Stone Age. It spans approximately 50,000 years, from the early stage of MIS 3 to the Early Holocene. Human settlement of the region can be divided into three main stages: early (~50,000–29,000 BP, MIS 3), middle (~29,000–11,700 BP, MIS 2), and late (11,700–8000 BP). The peopling of Arctic Eurasia and the cultural evolution in that part of the world were drive…
Mass accumulations of mammoth (mammoth ‘graveyards’) with indications of past human activity in the northern Yana-Indighirka lowland, Arctic Siberia
The extinction of the woolly mammoth and the archaeological record in Northeastern Asia
The extinction of the woolly mammoth has attracted public and scientific attention for nearly 200 years. Despite the efforts of generations of scholars, the role of human predation in mammoth extinction is one of the most intriguing questions that remain unanswered. Chronological and spatial distribution patterns suggest that mammoth extinction occurred primarily as a result of climate change. Human predation may have accelerated the process of e…
Wooly mammoth mass accumulation next to the Paleolithic Yana RHS site, Arctic Siberia
Prelude to the extinction
Principal Excavation Techniques Under Permafrost Conditions (Based on Zhokhov and Yana Sites, Northern Yakutia)
Techniques for excavating Stone Age sites overlaid by permanently frozen deposits are discussed. Two principal scenarios of excavations are suggested depending on the depth of overlying frozen deposits. The sine qua non of such excavations are devices for precise three-dimensional documentation, pumps and sieves for fl ushing, and devices for removing melt-water and spoil heaps. Techniques for forced thawing of sediments and conservation of artif…
Methods of excavating stone age sites associated with permafrost
The Yana RHS Site
A newly discovered Paleolithic site on the Yana River, Siberia, at 71°N, lies well above the Arctic circle and dates to 27,000 radiocarbon years before present, during glacial times. This age is twice that of other known human occupations in any Arctic region. Artifacts at the site include a rare rhinoceros foreshaft, other mammoth foreshafts, and a wide variety of tools and flakes. This site shows that people adapted to this harsh, high-latitude…
