Description:

in summer 2009, we documented active summer campsites at lakes and abandoned winter and spring campsites in open tundra (mountain ridge of Yangana Pe) and forest tundra (Oktyaberskaya, north of Labytnangi). Discussion of the floristic and zoological potentials of tundra, forest tundra, and forest for nutriture shows that plant resources and fish are available predominantly in summer while reindeer occur in these regions during fall, winter and spring, as they return from summer pastures further to the north. Movements of the individual Nenets families depend on ownership of sufficient reindeer. Missing components of the nutriture are substituted by purchasing consumer products. The documented camps are structured along discrete zones such as interior living areas (including children´s playgrounds), exterior areas with evidence of woodworking, processing reindeer, and other activities, peripheral toss zones, and dispersed activity remains in the surrounding landscape (some of which may have ritual meaning). Certain variation recorded in the individual camps is caused by distances between camps, to the nearest shop and to communication networks, by demographic structure of the site, by activities of the inhabitants and their financial potential (after selling some of the reindeer in winter, for example). The scope of these comparisons is enriched by Upper Paleolithic evidence from central European hunters’ settlements which display a basically similar camp structure and zonality but include (of course) different types of objects and activities., Jiří Svoboda ...
