Afontova Gora and Yenisei river camps

Afontova Gora, Krasnoyarsk

River-slope sites preserve stone and bone working, animal remains, hearths, and possible dwellings. They document varied camps rather than one settlement event.

River-terrace settlement, household activity, fauna, and dating context Late Upper Palaeolithic, approximately 19,000-14,000 calendar years ago across distinct sites Terrace stratigraphy, radiocarbon dating, hearth distributions, refitting, lithics, bone tools, and fauna Afontova Gora, Krasnoyarsk; approximate archaeological or museum orientation only, never a territorial, ethnic, linguistic, religious, or sovereignty boundary.
Resumen

Paisajes, comunidades e instituciones cambiantes

Ríos, lagos, bosques, estepas, montañas y conexiones árticas

Yenisei slopes and terraces connected seasonal resources, transport, stone procurement, and repeated camps.

Organización política y escala comunitaria

Household work areas can be investigated; no named regional government or language is recoverable.

Transformación posterior, patrimonio vivo y recepción moderna

Development and earlier excavation affect preservation. Collections and sensitive remains cannot establish modern descent.

Landscape a complex of sites

Layers need not represent contemporary communities.

Secuencia histórica

Una cronología breve y documentada

Estos hitos sirven de orientación y no constituyen una historia completa.

  1. River camps develop

    Separate deposits preserve tools, fauna, and work areas.

  2. Activities cluster

    Spatial study distinguishes working and hearth areas.

  3. Provisional dates are obtained

    Context and contamination make some measurements less reliable.

  4. New excavation refines interpretation

    Afontova Gora IV research identified a hearth and utility area.
