Turning eastward: New radiocarbon and stable isotopic data for Middle Holocene hunter-gatherers from Fofanovo, Trans-Baikal, Siberia

White JA, Schulting RJ, Hommel P, Moiseyev V, Khartanovich V, Bronk Ramsey C, Weber AW

A considerable amount of bioarchaeological research – including AMS 14C dating and stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analyses (δ13C and δ15N) – has been undertaken on the hunter-gatherers from the area west of Lake Baikal, known as Cis-Baikal. No such work has previously been reported for the east side of the lake, Trans-Baikal. Here, we present new radiocarbon dates and isotopic results for twenty individuals from the Fofanovo cemetery, located along the Selenga River on the southeast coast of [...]

Welcome our new BAP team member, Corrie Hyland!

We have a new BAP team member! Ms. Corrie Hyland is a DPhil candidate at the University of Oxford and she joins the Baikal Archaeology Project under the joint supervision of Drs. Amy Styring, Rick Schulting and Andrzej Weber. Specializing in stable isotope analysis, Corrie will be working to further develop the freshwater reservoir correction methods that refine the microregion chronologies of Lake Baikal. She will be expanding on the use of stable hydrogen and sulfur isotope analysis, as [...]

Welcome our new BAP team member, Dr. Andrea Czermak!

We have a new BAP team member! Dr. Andrea Czermak is a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Oxford and was introduced to the BAP by Dr. Rick Schulting. She is a trained biologist who specializes in sequential tooth dentine analysis to reconstruct early life histories of individuals. Andrea has developed and applied new refined methods for dentine analysis and micro-sampling. She is particularly interested in childhood and adolescence, stress and crisis events, subsistence strategies and mobility during times [...]

Congratulations to Dr. Rick Schulting and co-authors on the publication of their paper in Journal of Archaeological Science! Title: Subsistence shift and socio-economic response to cultural and climate changes aong north-central Iberian megalithic groups Authors: Fern´andez-Crespo, J. Ordo˜no, R.J. Schulting Abstract: The insufficient attention traditionally paid to the complex mortuary biographies of megalithic graves has long obscured a significant amount of synchronic and diachronic information. The Rioja Alavesa region of north-central Iberia holds a number of megalithic graves [...]

Spatio-temporal patterns of cemetery use among Middle Holocene hunter-gatherers of Cis-Baikal, Eastern Siberia

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

Hunter-gatherer archaeology typically focusses on the details of subsistence strategies and material culture and, in the case of cemeteries, on various aspects of mortuary practices, beliefs, and social differentiation. This paper aims to look rather at patterns of change over time and space in how past hunter-gatherer cemeteries were used from Late Mesolithic to Early Bronze Age (~8600–3500 cal. BP) in the Cis-Baikal region of Eastern Siberia. The approach is based on a Kernel Density methodology applied to [...]

Middle Holocene hunter–gatherers of Cis-Baikal, Eastern Siberia: Chronology and dietary trends

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 ~650 individuals provide many new insights about Middle Holocene hunter–gatherers (HGs) 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 [...]

Congratulations to Dr. Rick Schulting and co-authors on the recent publication of their article in Nature Plants! Title: ‘White gold’ guano fertilizer drove agricultural intensification in the Atacama Desert from AD 1000 Abstract: The archaeological record shows that large pre-Inca agricultural systems supported settlements for centuries around the ravines and oases of northern Chile’s hyperarid Atacama Desert. This raises questions about how such productivity was achieved and sustained, and its social implications. Using isotopic data of well-preserved ancient plant [...]
