“…Previously, Meng et al (2011) of our research team found uneven wear of the anterior and posterior teeth of Banpo people, indicating the existence of extramasticatory activities. From the western Zhou era (Shaolingyuan population) and Qin Dynasty (Shanren population) to the Tang Dynasty (Chang'an population), the hunter-gatherer economy began to transform to an intensive agricultural economy , which resulted in a difference in oral health status (Lee et al, 2019). The increase in farm products and improved food processing methods made food easier to chew, resulting in progressively weaker muscles and less masticatory force.…”

The aim of this study was to survey oral exostoses in human populations that belonged to the same region encompassing five periods over 6000 years, to determine the prevalence and its changing trend over time. A total of 306 human jaws belonging to the modern Xi'an region and four archeological sites, Banpo (6700-5600 years BP), Shaolingyuan (3000 years BP), Shanren (2200 years BP) and Chang'an (1000-1300 years BP), were investigated. The degree of buccal exostosis (BE), torus mandibularis (TM) and torus palatinus (TP) and the TP shape were recorded. The prevalence of BE, TM, and TP in the five groups was 20.8 %-62.5 %, 17.5 %-71.5 %, and 31.7 %-74.2 %, respectively. The differences in the three types of exostoses among the five groups were all statistically significant, but only TM and TP showed a decreasing trend over time. A high and quite diverse prevalence of oral exostoses was found in the five groups of samples. Decreasing trends in relation to time for TM and TP were detected.

“…Throughout the period studied, the rate of cavities was very low and slightly different from that of non-agriculturalist indigenous west Siberian people of the same period [58] or even pre-contact Inuit [59]. Sucrose plays a dominant part in the aetiology of cavities and other sugars are, to a lesser extent, also incriminated.…”

(1) Background: contact between indigenous and European populations has often resulted in changes in oral health attributed to the introduction of sucrose. Most studies are per tooth over considerable periods and with few ethnological references. (2) Aim: dental epidemiology of 96 autochthonous frozen bodies from Yakutia between the early 17th century and the late 19th century; comparisons with historical texts and ethnographic data. (3) Material and methods: we use descriptive statistics and discriminant factorial analyses to identify dominant variables in the dataset and compare periods and subjects, considering all variables. (4) Results: the peculiarities of the population are the rarity of cavities and the relative frequency of dental pathologies leading to death. Assimilation into the Russian Orthodox culture has led to decreased tooth wear and an increase in tooth loss. Dental health evolves only two centuries after the contact. (5) Conclusions: the confrontation with historical data suggests that changes are not related to the growing importance of sucrose but to a combined action: the substitution of dendrophagy by cereal flour; the decrease in immunity linked to the development of chronic infectious diseases; tobacco addiction and the mandibular torus: a risk factor promoting apical cysts.

“…The Okrug encompasses a vast area of the arctic or subarctic areas where many native Siberian peoples coexisted while sticking to different subsistence strategies (Lee et al 2019). Of them, the Tatars, a Turkic-speaking ethnic group in West Siberia, were fishermen, hunters, and pastoralists around the Irtysh River basin.…”

“…The Khanty, mostly fishermen and hunters, lived in the forest tundra and north taiga zones of the Ob regions. The Nenets were hunters, fishermen, and reindeer herders of the Near Arctic and Arctic Circle areas (Bagashev 2017;Lee et al 2019;Perevalova 2004;Poshekhonova et al 2018;Slepchenko and Ivanov 2015;Slepchenko et al 2016;Slepchenko 2017). The archaeologists located many indigenous people's burials during the investigation of the Arctic permafrost area in Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug (Figs.…”

Despite the academic works of Siberian mummies over the past decades, except for the Pazyryk mummy (Siberian Ice Maiden) in Ukok Plateau, the academic achievements are not well known to the outside world. Nevertheless, the discovery and scientific research of mummies therefrom continue to be performed in the artic or subarctic zones of Siberia. In this chapter, the authors summarize the brief history and recent research updates of Siberian mummies discovered under different geological and environmental conditions in the Russian Federation. This mummy research in Siberia, as in other countries, vividly restores the lives
