Based on archaeological evidence and context, Scandinavia, the White Sea, the Chukchi Sea, the Sea of Okhotsk, the Korean Peninsula, the Japanese archipelago and the coast of the Atacama Desert are areas where prehistoric whaling may have taken place.

That’s the whole point of the thematic file we’re proposing in this new issue of Journal Nouvelle de l’archeologie.
