The culmination of more than a decade of fieldwork and related
study, this unique book uses analyses of perimortem taphonomy in
Ice Age Siberia to propose a new hypothesis for the peopling of the
New World. The authors present evidence based on examinations of
more than 9000 pieces of human and carnivore bone from 30 late
Pleistocene archaeological and palaeontological sites, including
cave and open locations, which span more than 2000 miles from the
Ob River in the West to the Sea of Japan in the East. The observed
bone damage signatures suggest that the conventional prehistory of
Siberia needs revision and, in particular, that cave hyenas had a
significant influence on the lives of Ice Age Siberians. The
findings are supported by more than 250 photographs, which
illustrate the bone damage described and provide a valuable insight
into the context and landscape of the fieldwork for those
unfamiliar with Siberia.
