Information on the ancient sites near Cape Shmidt (Iultin District of Chukotka Autonomous Okrug) is provided. Ancient archaeological objects in area were first discovered by polar explorer A. E. Nordenskiold 19th century. In late 1950s and mid-1970s, archaeologist N. Dikov studied Exkimo graves dwelllings. T. S. Tein continued excavating an Old Bering Sea dwelling.

ABSTRACT Far northeastern Siberia has been occupied by humans for more than 40 thousand years. Yet, owing to a scarcity of early archaeological sites and human remains, its population history relationship ancient modern populations across Eurasia the Americas are poorly understood. Here, we analyze 34 genome sequences, including two from fragmented milk teeth found at ~31.6 thousand-year-old (kya) Yana RHS site, earliest northernmost Pleistocene remains found. These genomes reveal complex...
Purpose. This article presents one of the most brilliant ancient culture Kamchatka – Tarya late Neolithic period. The author discusses culture’s localization and chronology, lists important sites, gives a description dwellings, characterizes economy people, material complex. Results. Early complexes attributed to determined by 3 rd millennium BC are represented three archeological sites. They characterized combination small large stone tools, various leaf-shaped points, sharp-edged adzes...

During the excavations of a dugout at Kozhevnikov Cliff site (Cape Schmidt), N.N. Dikov obtained collection pottery vessels Old Bering Sea culture (fourteen specimens). The technology ceramic production was analyzed using methodology developed by A.A. Bobrinsky. It determined that potters selected iron-rich clays two subtypes, differing in amount natural sand content, for production. Five recipes molding clay were identified, including three unmixed: 1) + (7 specimens); 2) wool (3 3) organic...
The history of archaeological research on the Pyagina Peninsula is considered.

The article presents the history and study of Paleo-Eskimo site Chertov Ovrag on Wrangel Island. author describes results excavations this site, gives characteristics complex stone bone tools, discusses dating archaeological monument. Warming in Arctic regions since 4 500 years ago has created an opportunity for sea hunters to migrate westward from American Arctic. emergence PaleoEskimo tradition extreme North-East Asia is associated with migration Bering Strait zone groups America, which...
Here we present the results of technical and technological analysis pottery from one dugout (4 ves-sels) 22 graves (23 vessels) Chini cemetery (Chukchi Peninsula). We found that potters Old Bering Sea Culture used mainly ferruginous, weakly sanded clay in production pottery. Two recipes for moulding were five burial ground. The construction hollow body was made by patchwork layering, presumably on a base mould. Smooth or embossed knockout shaping. surfaces worked troweling. Five vessels...

In second half 1st AD, group Tevi archaeological (one variant...
The article provides a comprehensive analysis of materials from the Domashneye Ozero site, which is key site Late Neolithic Tarya culture in Kamchatka. Recent fieldwork has revealed stratigraphically earlier Mesolithic complex with characteristic blade technology, lying below horizon artefacts. Based on these data as well published and archival sources, hypothesis was formulated about probable mixing within sunken dwellings investigated by N.N. Dikov 1960s. This verified detailed technical...
The article provides geophysical studies using the electrical resistivity tomography method conducted during 2024 field season at stratified Paleolithic site Ushki I in Central Kamchatka. This is based on measuring resistivity. It was applied to determine thickness of loose deposits, identify anthropogenic anomalies, and assess promising areas for future excavations. In previous years, research site, two different Upper settlements belonging cultures were identified. 2024, areas, 142.5 129...
The article provides results of the comprehensive archaeological and geophysical studies conducted in 2024 at Domashneye Ozero site, a key site Tarya culture Kamchatka River valley. Based on aerial photography, tacheometric survey, visual inspection data, detailed topographic plan covering an area over 32,300 sq. m was created for first time, revealing 11 dwelling depressions 26 pits. Geophysical using electrical resistivity tomography aimed examining structure cultural deposits, determined...

<h3>Abstract</h3> This study purposed to reveal animal use in southern Kamchatka by examining the largest archaeofaunal collections recovered Tamara M. Dikova and Nikolai N. Dikov. Radiocarbon dates of charcoal caribou antler demonstrated that materials for this were dated during past 1,600 years, including three cultural periods: Nalychevo Culture (the 15–19th centuries AD), Tar’ya mid-first millennium intermediate period between them early second AD). The taxonomical distribution suggested...
The article provides information on a burial in niche under stone at Cape Bratyev Babushkin Bay studied by S. P. Yefimov 1976. work yielded anthropological materials and related archaeological finds. chance to conduct whole genome analysis of bone remains from this stimulated their further study as well the need inspect sites grounds specified area. Interesting significant data anthropology genetics were obtained. individuals found belong present-day Koryaks' ancestry. It is also noted that,...
