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.
Aperçu

Paysages, communautés e institutions cambiantes

Fleuves, lacs, forêts, estepas, montagnes et connexions arctiques

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

Organisation politique et échelle communautaire

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

Transformation ultérieure, patrimoine vivant et réception moderne

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.

Séquence historique

Uma cronologia breve e documentada

Ces repères servent d'orientation et ne constituent pas une histoire complète.

  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.
