Abstract
The chapter provides the reconstruction of lifestyle of the Mesolithic people in the northern part of Eastern Europe. Comparison of archaeological, archaeozoological and anthropological data demonstrates that the series analyzed represented groups of hunters on terrestrial mammals and fisherman. There are no specific features distinguishing people of the region from contemporaneous groups in the north of Europe. According to paleopathological data, Mesolithic people had no chronic diseases or infections, and the series show an insignificant percentage of occurrence of the markers of physiological stress. The radiological analysis, as well as morphological has provided the evidence of heavy physical activities of individuals in the cool conditions, which emphasizes seasonality of negative factors of the environment in the daily life of hunter-gathers and fishermen.
