Why Did HUNTER-GATHERERS Build Forts 8,000 Years Ago In SIBERIA?
8,000 years ago in the subarctic Siberian taiga, hunter-gatherers started building fortified enclosures, pit houses and ritual mounds. It’s not clear what drove these changes but a new research paper presents several ideas related to further fieldwork at the Amnya I site. In this video I discuss this paper, as well as new data that suggests Palaeolithic people ritually amputated fingers and then depicted these hands with missing digits in cave art.
