Аннотация:Data on the age and natural environment of earliest archaeological sites in Siberia are critically analyzed. Particular attention is paid to the Karama site in the Altai Mountains, whose age was earlier estimated at about 1.77–1.95 Ma. The combination of geological, geomorphological, sedimentological, palynological, and paleomagnetic data makes it possible to determine the lower limit of the age of this object at only about 800 ka. Judging by the results of a preliminary study of the Zasukhino site in Trans-Baikal, early humans could have appeared in Siberia about 1 million years ago, but additional research is required in order to obtain reliable information.
