Human, Animal, and Environmental Interaction in Northeast Asia
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 82nd Annual Meeting, Vancouver, BC (2017)
Since the last Ice Age, Northeast Asia witnessed a variety of dramatic and important changes in human societies and their relationship to the environment. These include the Neolithic transition, the adoption of domestic livestock, the emergence of horseback riding, and the development of complex nomadic polities. This session will present current archaeological research from Mongolia and adjoining regions, with an emphasis on how interactions between humans, animals, and the environment shaped important social changes in prehistory.
