Description
Summary:Abstract: During the last years the investigations of Stone Age and Early Metal sites on the Karelian Isthmus were much intensified. Presently, about 180 archaeological sites belonging to these periods are recorded. A considerable part of these sites have been found and inves-tigated by joint cooperative efforts of Russian and Finnish archaeologists. 12 sites of Mesolithic, Neolithic and Early Metal ages are characterized by 30 radiocarbon dates. Several dates were obtained from the sites of prolonged duration and with a mixed stratigraphy, which makes them less reliable. This article includes the catalogue of 14C dates and the information re-garding their attribution.
