About This Item
[Leningrad?], [1979].
This unusual book was a birthday gift from colleges to archaeologist and ethnographer, full member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR Alexey Okladnikov (1908-1981). He was an expert in the ancient cultures and history of Siberia, Far East and Mongolia. Okladnikov made numerous important discoveries, including the first Neanderthal remains in the USSR at Teshik Tash (Uzbekistan) and unique figurines at the Upper Palaeolithic site of Buret' in the Angara River basin (Eastern Siberia).
The book includes Okladnikov's biography brief and photos from archeological site of Buret' in the Angara Valley and different expeditions along the Amur River. Some photos were taken from Okladnikov's book Ancient Art of the Amur Region (1981): petroglyphs in the province of Lower Amur and Ussuri, primitive sculptures, shaman's figures, amulets and clothing, jewelry and many other artefacts. Last group photo with people in traditional costumes was taken in Mongolian People's Republic.
