Mesolithic Component of the Lithic Industry at the Ustye Reki Kutarey Site (North Angara Region)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The modern stage of studying Baikal-Yenisei Siberia and the North Angara region has accumulated an impressive source base on burial complexes and multilayer sites, and provided an array of natural science data, including a series of AMS radiocarbon dating results, and data on stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes. Based on the research of the Canadian-Russian Baikal Archaeological Project, a new concept of the development of the Middle Holocene (Late Mesolithic to Early Bronze Age) cultures of the Pre-Baikal region based on the data on funerary complexes was proposed. Irkutsk researchers proposed their own historical and cultural model taking into account the data on hunter-gatherer sites, both in the conventional Baikal region and in other territories of Baikal-Yenisei Siberia. This article provides new dates for the Ust-Kutarey site in the North Angara region, in the context of modern data, raises the issues of the Neolithic development of the region in terms of pottery and funerary traditions, considers the features of the Neolithic stone industries development based on the Ust-Kutarey site. Despite the compression nature of deposits, it was possible to conventionally identify Neolithic areas (Ust-Belaya and Posolskaya traditions) using spatial analysis, from which samples were taken for dating. These data are consistent with the previously obtained dates for the burial from Layer 3 and generally fit into the chronology of the Neolithic complexes with Ust-Belaya and Posolskaya ceramic types. However, an earlier (Mesolithic) component cannot be ruled out. The obtained data also make a significant contribution to the construction of the cultural and chronological scale of the region.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
