Technical and Typological Analysis of Ang’angxi Neolithic Pottery in Northern China
Albazin, a Russian Town on the Amur
Judging by modern studies and written sources, the town of Albazin, founded more than 330 years ago, had lost its western rampart facing the Amur and 17 % of the enclosed area (the latter totaled 7630 m 2 in 1684). Given the reports stating that the fort had a garrison of 222 men, it could not have accommodated 826 inhabitants during the 1686 siege. It is proposed that in the 1680s, owing to a military threat, Fort Albazin turned into a fortified…
New Data on the Chronology of the Initial Neolithic Gromatukha Culture, Western Amur Region
Since its discovery in the early 1960s, the chronology of the Neolithic Gromatukha culture in the Western Amur Region has undergone radical changes. After the appearance of a series of carbon dates based on charcoal and organic remains in clay texture, its initial attribution to the Early and Middle Neolithic (second half of the 5th to 4th millennia BC) was replaced by a much earlier estimate (from 15–16 to 8 cal ka BP). As a result, Gromatukha b…
