Abstract
The northern part of Eastern Siberia was populated in the Late Pleistocene. Humans seemed to penetrate to the southern part of Eastern Siberia up to 59°N and to Northeastern Siberia from c.33,000 BP. The Yana RHS site (71°N) demonstrates the ability of humans to live in the arctic areas of Eastern Siberia in 28,500 BP. From c.24,000 BP the valleys of the Middle Lena and Aldan Rivers have been populated. During the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), from c.20,000 to 18,000 BP, prehistoric man lived near the region under consideration or even penetrated in it. After the LGM, there were traces of interrupted human colonization of northern Eastern Siberia. The Early and Middle Holocene (from 8000 to 6000 BP) witnessed human occupation at the northernmost territories of Eastern Siberia (the Taymyr Peninsular) and even the islands of the Novosibirsk Archipelago (the Zhokhov Island).
