PROJECT "AN UNIQUE BURIAL MACRO-OBJECT FROM THE TIME OF THE VIKINGS IN THE NORTH-WEST OF EASTERN EUROPE (PALEOECOLOGY OF THE EARLY MEDIEVAL WORLD: THE COMPLEX OF ARCHEOLOGICAL MONUMENTS AND LANDSCAPES OF THE UPPER LUGA REGION)" The Project will be carried out by the Center for Baltic Anthropological and Archeological Studies (CBAAS) of the Department of European Studies and Common Problems of Anthropology of the Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography (Kunstkammer) of the Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg (MAE RAS). F or the last seven years, CBAAS has been involved in a number of projects that explore the problems of cultural interaction among the Scandinavian and German peoples and the Slavic, Baltic, and Finnish peoples in the South-East Region of the Baltic Sea Coast. Contacts among these peoples have been considered in a wide chronological frame, beginning in the first millennium AD. T he following projects are being carried out by CBAAS: 1. Theoretical Seminar "Between Asia and Europe: Problems of Ethnic and Cultural Contacts", studying early German cultural motivations in Europe from the late 1st mil. BC to the 1st mil. AD along with the problems of Goth-Hun interaction on the eve of the Early Middle Ages; 2. Annual conference on "Scandinavian Studies", presenting a wide range of scholarly reports concerning archaeology (from the Stone Age to the time of the Vikings) and anthropology;

103. IKIP International Kuril Island Project Archaeology, Paleoclimatology, Geology Archaeological survey in the Kuril Islands was first conceived after the 1996 A preliminary survey of the islands was completed by UW archaeology http://depts.washington.edu/ikip/

The Kuril Islands: Stepping Stones to Beringia The Kuril islands are a string of volcanically active peaks bordering the Northwest Pacific Ocean and enclosing the Sea of Okhotsk. Stretching from Northern Japan to the Kamchatka Peninsula, these small and remote islands occupy the transition from the temperate to subarctic zone and provide the most direct link between coastal East Asia and Western Beringia. While the southernmost and northernmost islands were connected to the mainland (Hokkaido and Kamchatka) at the height of the last Glaciation, the small central islands have remained unconnected throughout the Quaternary. The Northern and Central Kurils are ice bound in winter and differ little from the western Bering Sea or Aleutians in climate or ecology. By contrast the southernmost islands support dense stands of bamboo and forest cover. The combined forces of biogeographic isolation and ecotonal transition strongly affect island ecology. As a result, these islands serve as dynamic yardsticks for the biogeographic study of human, plant and animal dispersion and contraction into the maritime and subarctic zone. They are uniquely positioned to reveal information about the effects of climate change on human maritime adaptations. And they are ideally suited for investigating the sensitivity of terrestrial and maritime species to prehistoric human impacts, and by inference the sensitivity of exisiting species to the impacts of the modern world. And as the most direct connection between maritime East Asia and Beringia, they are uniquely situated to advance our understanding of the settlement history of the Beringian coastal zone.

But that's what some archaeologists are trying to do on the steppes of Asia. In the Tsaaram Valley not far from the Russian-Mongolian border, they are exploring royal tombs of the Xiongnu, a confederation of nomadic tribes that dominated Central Asia for two centuries beginning about 2,300 years ago. Yet numerous questions and contradictions surround the existing knowledge about the life and society of the Xiongnu. Sergey Minyaev, an archaeologist with the Institute of History of Material Culture of the Russian Academy of Sciences, hopes that exploration of the Huns' royal tombs will help resolve some of the mysteries. Minyaev's expedition, which has been supported by the National Geographic Society, is set to begin a third and final phase this year.

Parks Boating Safety Hist./Archaeology Grants ... History and Archaeology Castle Hill Archaeological Project Introduction Top of Castle Hill in 1997 (click to enlarge). Archaeology at Castle Hill: Window to the Past In 1995, archaeologists began a testing program to locate and evaluate buried deposits at the former Russian-American capitol. Initially, work focused on top of the hill, within a stone enclosure constructed in 1966-67 for the Alaska Centennial celebration. Most deposits were largely disturbed, but the discovery of a possible cellar floor from the Russian period suggested that other deposits of intact materials might be present. Archaeologists returned to Castle Hill during the summers of 1997 and 1998 to conduct larger scale excavations in advance of construction work to improve access to the site. In 1998, archaeologsits opened an additional 103 one-meter squares east of those excavated the previous year. Excavations in this area, beneath a heavily used park trail, revealed the ruins of at least four Russian period buildings. The floor deposits suggest that at least two of the buildings were workshops. One ruin, mostly destroyed by gardening and trail construction, is believed to represent the last Russian building to occupy the site. The metal workers' smithy identified in 1997 was fully excavated, along with the building which housed it. The intact forge was re-buried at the end of the season with hope that funding might be found for a viewing shelter and interpretive exhibit.

Facsimile volumes of the Dunhuang paintings and historical photographs are available (Shanghai Ancient Books Publishers). The material was collected during an expedition by Colonel Pyotr Koslov and two subsequent expeditions led by Sergei Oldenburg. Some of this material, notably the Tangut paintings and some wall fragments, sculptures and other artefacts from Dunhuang and other sites, are on display in the public galleries. In 2002 the State Hermitage announced that it also had several crates of material removed from the Museum of Indische Kunst in Berlin after the Second World War. Itis not clear what these contain and they have not been on public display (see IDP News 25).

Aug, 28 2002 In Russian Em Portugues Russia World ... About Pravda.RU:Society:More in detail Russian-Korean archaeological expedition ends excavations A joint Russo-Korean archaeological expedition concluded its work on Wednesday. Over the past three years its members were excavating ancient monuments of culture on Suchu island in the lower reaches of the Amur River (Far East), said Vitaly Medvedev, Doctor of Historical Sciences, head of the Russian part of the expedition. A special place among the archaeological monuments of the Russian Far East, as well as of East Asia as a whole, belongs to the monuments on Suchu islands where Neolithic and later settlements have been unearthed," said Vitaly Medvedev. Back in 1935, Soviet academician Alexei Okladnikov examined that territory and found there about 200 monuments, including ancient settlements and petroglyphs dating back to different epochs. In 1999, scientists of the South Korean State Research Institute proposed to the institute of archaeology and ethnography of the Siberian branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences that they carry out a cycle of excavations on the Suchu island. During the excavations that were held during the past three summer seasons, a lot of material was found that is valuable for the studies of the Neolithic period of North-East Asia. A number of the finds are unique both for the archaeological studies of the Far East and beyond its limits.

109. The Archaeological Excavations Of Papinniemi In Uukuniemi, Finland At the archaeological site of Papinniemi in Uukuniemi, eastern Finland, Orthodox people start to move to the russian side of the border. http://users.utu.fi/vilaakso/Uuengl.htm

The archaeological research project of Papinniemi in Uukuniemi, eastern Finland At the archaeological site of Papinniemi in Uukuniemi, eastern Finland, a Greek Orthodox church, a cemetery and a village have been situated in the 15th-17th centuries. The settlement was completely deserted probably during a war between Sweden and Russia in the middle of the 17th century. Papinniemi is one of the numerous Greek Orthodox settlements that existed in Karelia in historical times. These sites and their desertion are a proof of the competition of the Byzantine and Roman Christian churches. In certain areas of Finland this competition has continued until the 17th century and even after. Papinniemi is an archaeological site protected by the Finnish law. Archaeological excavations at the site have begun in 1995 and are going to continue for many years. In charge of the excavations is the Archaeology Department of the University of Turku in cooperation with the National Board of Antiquities. The exceptionally rich finds of Papinniemi make the site unique in eastern Finland, where the Orthodox culture or the historical period in general have not been archaeologically researched in any extent until recently.
