Некоторые аспекты жизнедеятельности населения Северного Приангарья в финальном мезолите (на примере стоянки Остров Лиственичный)

Abstract

In recent years, the extensive field research in the Northern Angara region led to a huge number of found and excavated sites. The Ostrov Listvenichny should be mentioned among the most prominent Early Holocene sites. Topography, representative stratigraphy put this site in the list of main objects of Baikal Siberia in 9000-8000 BC. This article presents materials of final Mesolithic layer of the Ostrov Listvenichny site. This layer was deposited during the Holocene Atlantic optimum and didn’t contain any ceramic fragments. There were deer, elk, hare, fox, sable, siberian weasel, bear, dog, fish, bird remains in the fauna collection and more than 90% of them belonged to deer species. Tool collection includes scrapers, tips, abrasives, adzes, horn and stone pressers, bone fish-baits, harpoons. After using microstratigraphical method, it’s clear that ancient landscape was similar to modern one. Planigraphic structure demonstrates some aspects of human ecosystem, including three boarded sectors for making tools, сutting hunted animals and residing. «Economic» and «industrial» sectors have several fireplaces with accumulations of bone and stone remains. «Residing» sector demonstrates rare concentration of artifacts, but has more fireplaces, individual occupational places and two hoards. Uncovered planigraphic «cavities» were near the fireplaces. These contents can indicate dwelling constructions.
