The aim of this book is to reconstruct the patterns of prehistoric exchange and human movements in the Upper Palaeolithic and Neolithic of Northeast Asia. The proposed book is the first comprehensive summary of obsidian provenance and issues related to prehistoric human contacts/migrations and early seafaring in Northeast Asia. The particular importance of this book is that obsidian is used as a commodity to establish the movements of ancient people that is almost impossible to do using traditional archaeological approaches. The book contains updated information on the vast region with a multitude of obsidian sources and artefacts, based on the author?s first-hand knowledge generated in the last 30+ years. It makes this book a unique source of information derived from Russian, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese publications (as well as English summaries) for comparison between different parts of Northeast Asia. 410 0$aThe Science of Human History in Asia and the Pacific,$x2522-8889 ;$v2 606 $aPrehistoric peoples 606 $aUnderwater archaeology 606 $aCultural property 606 $aArchaeology 606 $aEnvironmental archaeology 606 $aPrehistoric Archaeology 606 $aMaritime Archaeology 606 $aArchaeology and Heritage 606 $aEnvironmental Archaeology 615 0$aPrehistoric peoples. 615 0$aUnderwater archaeology. 615 0$aCultural property. 615 0$aArchaeology. 615 0$aEnvironmental archaeology. 615 14$aPrehistoric Archaeology. 615 24$aMaritime Archaeology. 615 24$aArchaeology and Heritage. 615 24$aEnvironmental Archaeology. 676 $a930.1 700 $aKuzmin$b Yaroslav$01767109 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910897989403321 996 $aAcross the Seas in Prehistoric Northeast Asia$94211940 997 $aUNINA
