A Critical Review of “the Mesolithic ” in Relation to Siberian Archaeology
ABSTRACT. This paper explores the potential of the economic-ecqlogical method based on the exploitation of fish resources for Mesolithic site iden-tification, as compared to the recently popular yet indecisive technological-typological method, to predict the existence of “Mesolithic-like ” sub-siste...
