Utilizing assemblages from sites of the Susuya culture and Okhotsk cultures, change can be observed in three main categories: those caused by cultural or ethnocultural interaction and evolving processes; those caused by economic innovations; and developments due to technological innovations. Evidence of these developments can be seen in the complicated progressive change in prehistoric technologies during the mid-first century to the twelfth or thirteenth centuries A.D. The bearers of the Okhotsk culture replaced Neolithic traditions entirely, adopting a new ornamental style.}, issn = {0066-6939}, URL = {https://aa.uwpress.org/content/47/2/42}, eprint = {https://aa.uwpress.org/content/47/2/42.full.pdf}, journal = {Arctic Anthropology} }
