Description
Summary:Archaeological investigations of Paleometal Epoch in the Primorye (south of the Far East of Russia) are generating insight for the introduction of metals into the Pacific coastal areas of prehistoric Eurasia. The chronological framework covers the turn of the 2nd −1st mil. BC to the beginning of 1st mil. AD. The temporal limits of bronze-bearing and iron-bearing cultural units of Primorye region overlap. The limited degree of local metal production and re-working during the Paleometal epoch still suggests progressive changes in the material culture of prehistoric populations of the southern Russian Far East.
