Neolithic and Early Bronze Age of Cis-Baikal: Chronology and Dietary Trends [in Russian]

Weber AW, Bronk Ramsey C, Schulting RJ, Bazaliiskii VI, Goriunova OI

Analyses of radiocarbon dates (all corrected for the freshwater reservoir effect) and associated stable isotope values obtained from the skeletal remains of ~560 individuals provide many new insights about Middle Holocene hunter-gatherers (HG) of the Cis-Baikal region, Eastern Siberia. The new radiocarbon evidence clarifies the culture history of the region by defining better the boundaries between the chronological (archaeological periods) and cultural (mortuary traditions) units, as well as our understanding of the transitions between them. Furthermore, differences between [...]

Dr. Rick Schulting and Corrie Hyland participate in “Animals Make Identities” Meetings in Helsinki, Finland

Note from Rick Schulting: BAP members Rick Schulting and Corrie Hyland participated in a recent Animals Make Identities (https://www.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/animals-make-identities) project meeting 15-18 November, led by Dr. Kristiina Mannermaa and held at the University of Helsinki’s marine research station (every university should have one) at Tvärminne. Highlight (other than the excellent research papers) was the proper Finnish sauna – no snakes allowed! Photo of no snakes poster by Eileen Murphy. Unfortunately, action photos from Finnish sauna are unavailable. Great looking [...]

Radiocarbon dating from Yuzhniy Oleniy Ostrov cemetery reveals complex human responses to socio-ecological stress during the 8.2 ka cooling event

Schulting RJ, Mannermaa K, Tarasov PE, Higham T, Bronk Ramsey C, Khartanovich V, Moiseyev V, Gerasimov D, O’Shea J, Weber A

Yuzhniy Oleniy Ostrov in Karelia, northwest Russia, is one of the largest Early Holocene cemeteries in northern Eurasia, with 177 burials recovered in excavations in the 1930s; originally, more than 400 graves may have been present. A new radiocarbon dating programme, taking into account a correction for freshwater reservoir effects, suggests that the main use of the cemetery spanned only some 100–300 years, centring on ca. 8250 to 8000 cal BP. This coincides remarkably closely with the 8.2 ka cooling event, [...]

Freshwater reservoir effects in Cis-Baikal: An overview

Schulting RJ, Bronk Ramsey C, Scharlotta I, Richards MP, Bazaliiskii VI, Weber A

This paper summarises research on freshwater reservoir effects (FRE) in the Baikal region and their impact on the radiocarbon dating of human remains. Varying relationships are seen between human δ13C and δ15N values and 14C offsets in paired human-terrestrial mammal radiocarbon dates from the same graves in the different microregions of Cis-Baikal. In the Upper Lena microregion the FRE may also vary through time. These differences can be related in some cases to different isotopic ecologies, and in [...]
