Siberia and neighboring regions in the Last Glacial Maximum: did people occupy northern Eurasia at that time?
An updated analysis of Paleolithic sites in Siberia and the Urals 14C-dated to the coldest phase of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) with its timespan currently determined as ca. 23,000–19,000 BP (ca. 27 300–22,900 cal BP) is presented. It is demonstrated that people continuously occupied the southern...
