Neanderthals were once widespread across Europe and western Asia. They also penetrated into the Altai Mountains of southern Siberia, but the geographical origin of these populations and the timing of their dispersal have remained elusive. Here we describe an archaeological assemblage from Chagyrskaya Cave, situated in the Altai foothills, where around 90,000 Middle Paleolithic artifacts and 74 Neanderthal remains have been recovered from deposits dating to between 59 and 49 thousand years ago (age range at 95.4% probability). Environmental reconstructions suggest that the Chagyrskaya hominins were adapted to the dry steppe and hunted bison. Their distinctive toolkit closely resembles Micoquian assemblages from central and eastern Europe, including the northern Caucasus, more than 3,000 kilometers to the west of Chagyrskaya Cave. At other Altai sites, evidence of earlier Neanderthal populations lacking associated Micoquian-like artifacts implies two or more Neanderthal incursions into this region. We identify eastern Europe as the most probable ancestral source region for the Chagyrskaya toolmakers, supported by DNA results linking the Neanderthal remains with populations in northern Croatia and the northern Caucasus, and providing a rare example of a long-distance, intercontinental population movement associated with a distinctive Paleolithic toolkit.

В статье изложены результаты многолетних исследований генезиса, морфологии, особенностей функционирования, современного состояния и динамики малых эрозионных форм рельефа в условиях котловин гор Южной Сибири на примере Южно-Минусинской котловины. Овражные формы представлены здесь локально. Доминируют береговые промоины и овраги, секущие крутые борта долин рек Абакан, Енисей и их притоков. Густота расчленения и плотность современных овражных форм рельефа возрастает на сельскохозяйственных землях (пашни и пастбища) и в пределах селитебных ландшафтов. Размеры малых эрозионных форм рельефа отличаются большим диапазоном. Так, протяженность коротких промоин составляет первые десятки метров, длинных логов — 3–5 км. Глубина вреза изменяется от 1,5–3 м до 10–20 м, ширина между бровками достигает 40–60 м. В настоящее время, несмотря на период увеличения увлажненности территории, после достаточно длительного засушливого периода овражные формы активно задерновываются. Этому способствует рост температуры и выпадение осадков слабой интенсивности. В результате происходит зарастание нарушенных земель ильмом мелколистным, наблюдается превращение степных ландшафтов в парковые. The article discusses the results of a multiannual research of the genesis, morphology, modern state and dynamics of minor landforms that can be found in the mountains of Southern Siberia in the Southern-Minusinsk Hollow. The majority of ravine landforms found in the area are bank gullies infesting the steep banks of the Abakan River, the Yenisei River and their tributaries. The density of ravine dismemberment increases in agricultural areas (arable lands and pastures) and in residential areas. The size of ravine landforms varies over a wide range. The length of short gullies does not exceed a few dozen meters. The length of long logs can reach 3–5 kilometres. The depth of incision varies from 1.5–3 metres to 10–20 metres. The distance between the brows of a ravine can reach 40–60 meters. Nowadays, despite a period of higher humidity, prolonged dry periods and high temperatures make ravines peaty. As a result, the areas overgrow with small-leaved elm and steppe landscapes are gradually transformed into parks.

Advance Rate

In recent decades, the tree line has been moving along the entire territory of the boreal forests due to climatic changes. In this work, the dynamics of the tree line and the area of closed stands in the Southern Siberian Mountains are analyzed. At all objects of the study, the advancement of the tree line is observed with an average advance rate of ~ 0.6 – 0.9 m per year. A significant relationship was found between the advancement of the tree line and the air temperature.

The paper analyzes landscapes of indigenous societies. Howard Morphy, in his work focusing on the Aborigines, treated the landscape as a representation of past mythical events. Such an approach involves taking a closer look at the material aspects of landscape and emphasizes the existence of realties between contemporary Aborigines and the past. A different theoretical approach was developed by Tim Ingold, conceptualizing landscape as a human-land relationship based on essence, where all beings derive their essential form and substance directly from the land, which embodies the creative forces of the ancestors. Ingold’s understanding of landscape led me to rethink my research in the Altai Mountains of Southern Siberia, conducted 25 years ago. I argue that the relationship with the land is crucial for the Altaian people. The land’s essence is not changeable and all living beings are its emanation. The landscape is therefore not a record of the past, but an active field in which the relationship between human and non-human subjects and the land is established.
