RADIOCARBON DATES FROM NEOLITHIC AND BRONZE AGE HUNTER-GATHERER CEMETERIES IN THE CIS-BAIKAL REGION OF SIBERIA
Abstract
Extensive radiocarbon dating of human remains from Neolithic and Bronze Age hunter-gatherer
cemeteries in the Cis-Baikal region of Siberia has been undertaken as a part of the multidisciplinary
examination of this material conducted by the Baikal Archaeology Project (BAP; http://
baikal.arts.ualberta.ca). Due to the large number of analyzed samples, this paper reports the 14C
results only in the context of the basic archaeological information about each of the cemeteries.
Comprehensive evaluation, analysis, and interpretation of this entire data set will be undertaken in
separate publications. In fact, the dates for one such cemetery have already been examined on 2
recent occasions (Weber et al. 2004, 2005).
