Archaeological and anthropological features of layer 3 at the site of Ustie Reki Kutarey (Northern Angara region)

Wide-scale archaeological works in the Northern Angara region, associated with the resumed construction of the Boguchany hydroelectric power station, have made it possible to accumulate large amount of archaeological records which require interpretation and coordination with the cultural and chronological framework of the region. In 2010-2011, research was done at the sites in the mouth of the Kutarey River (Ustie Reki Kutarey, Senkin (Siniy) Kamen, Ruchei Povarnyi, Gora Kutarey), resulting in identification of the most promising areas and in gathering a significant collection of artifacts. This article analyzes archaeological materials from layer 3 of the Ustie Reki Kutarei site and anthropological remains discovered underneath that layer. This makes it possible to significantly extend the source base of the Neolithic and Bronze Age in that region.
