| الوصف: | The Baikal Archaeology Project (BAP: https://baikalproject.artsrn.ualberta.ca/) is a long-term, multidisciplinary research initiative that has brought together experts from the fields of archaeology, bioarchaeology, ethnoarchaeology, genetics, bio- and geochemistry, and palaeoecology for over two decades to explore the lifeways of prehistoric hunter-gatherer cultures in Northern Eurasia. The focus of the project is on investigating the cultural diversity, change, stability, and resilience of foraging cultures in response to changing environmental conditions in the Lake Baikal Region (LBR) in southern Siberia and the Lake Onega Region (LOR) in Karelia, eastern Fennoscandia. High-resolution continuous sediment sequences from lakes and peatbogs serve as valuable environmental archives, ideally suited for detailed reconstructions of past human-environment relationships in the respective study areas. This dissertation presents robustly dated, high-resolution palynological records and pollen-based biome reconstructions from both BAP regions, providing detailed insights into the climatic and environmental histories and how they may have influenced the hunter-gatherer cultures studied within the BAP. A pollen record from a 135-cm-long, radiocarbon-dated sediment core from Lake Kamenistoe (67°30'31.4" N, 34°38'53.3" E) provides important insights into the vegetation and climate dynamics of the central Kola Peninsula over the last ca. 13 ka BP. The results improve existing reconstructions of the retreat of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet at the end of the last glacial period, indicating that the region was already ice-free by 13 ka BP. The palaeoenvironmental record, integrated with existing archaeological data, suggests that the initial spread of early Mesolithic hunter-gatherer groups into the region took place no later than 10 ka BP and coincided with the expansion of the boreal forest and a phase of continuous warming. These changes likely prompted the northward migration of reindeer, which were a crucial resource for ... |
