“…We also undertook accurate hypsometric referencing of cultural layers in more than 360 ancient settlements. Th e modern landforms were mapped on a large scale (Sizov, Idrisov, Molchanova, 2017) as a basis for generating paleolandscape maps for various periods (Zimina et al, 2019) (Fig. 7).…”

“…We applied the comparative-geographical method for the reconstruction of landscapes on a 1:150,000 scale for the period from 500 to 13,000 years ago. We extrapolated the modern patterns of successive changes in plant communities following the changes in local climatic conditions and hydrothermal properties of various habitats (the methodology of landscape paleoreconstruction has been described in detail elsewhere (Sizov, Idrisov, Molchanova, 2017;Zimina et al, 2019)). Th e foundation of landscape reconstruction is the principle of actualism.…”

“…For mapping, terrain and stow types were used as taxonomic units. Th e actual data sources for paleolandscape analysis are topographic maps of various scale, space and aerial imagery, historical records of geological and hydrological surveys and peat deposit explorations, archaeological data on ancient settlements, palynological and osteological analyses and our fi eld studies, including deep pitting and drilling (Sizov, Idrisov, Molchanova, 2017). We also considered the water level change simulation results obtained with the AW3D30 DSM.…”

One of the current trends in archaeological geoinformatics in Russia is the creation of web mapping portals that integrate spatial and thematic data on the given areas of concentration of archaeological sites. As part of the study of the life support system of the ancient population of the Tura and Pyshma interfl uves (Tyumen region) developed a geoportal on the basis of free and open source soft ware. The server part developed on the basis of GeoServer, provides storage of the information and authorized access to it. Vector data is stored in PostgreSQL database management system using PostGIS add-in. Raster data is stored on the server as GeoTIFF and MrSID fi les. Th e technologies used in the development of the client web-application allow using it in modern web-browsers without installing additional soft ware on the user’s devices. Th e geoportal user interface is an interactive map of spatial data layers as well as map control elements. Th e general control elements include the zoom buttons, the scale setting on the available layer extents, the zoom slider, the scale bar, the geographic coordinates fi eld of the cursor installation, the button enabling the attribute information display mode. Th ematic content of the geoportal includes space images with medium (10 m) and extra high (up to 0.3 m) spatial resolution, AW3D relief model (25 m), topographic maps, UAV images of certain areas (orthophotomaps and DEM), vectorlayers of archaeological sites, hydrography, landscapes restoration, results of archaeological sites borders mapping using GPS-receivers, as well as the results of bathymetry survey. Th e layer of archaeological site (366 objects) contains attributive information including type, period, description, dating. Geoportal is a convenient tool for management and visualization of the accumulated information arrays for specialists without extensive knowledge in cartography and GIS.

“…The landscapes of the study area are mainly represented by gently sloping, hilly pit‐and‐mound sandy plains with pine forests with lichen and grass ground cover on soddy‐crypto podzolic soils. A detailed analysis of modern landscapes and terrain types in the area of the Andreevskoe Lake system has been carried out based on the interpretation of satellite images of the area (Sizov et al, 2017; Zimina et al, 2019). Open landscapes cover about 40% of the study area.…”

Here we compare the long‐term dynamics of fires in the southern taiga of Western Siberia with changes in the environment and ancient economies. Utilizing charcoal particles extracted from peat sediments, we assess charcoal accumulation rates to identify the neighborhood level of fires. Comparison of changes in vegetation, climate and land‐use history with fire dynamics reveals that wildfires were climate‐dependent but inconsequential during the first half of the Holocene (9.0–4.1k cal a bp) in the hunter‐gatherer period. Critical changes and a notable increase in fires were observed in the Late Holocene when pyrogenic events correlate poorly with changes in vegetation cover and climate. Nevertheless, after 4.1k cal a bp, a direct relationship between fire frequency and economic features emerged, primarily linked to the introduction of animal husbandry and metallurgy, along with an increase in the number of settlements. Subsequently, fire activity increased, remaining higher even during periods of cooling and increased humidity, and this appears to have been related more closely to the economic strategies and periods of depopulation. Thus, even in Siberia, where agriculture had not been practised until the last few centuries, the transition to a productive economy in the Bronze Age brought decisive changes in the dynamics of forest fires.
