“…The typical integration intervals for tiny tephra shards were 6-10 s and included 10-17 cycles. The intensities corrected for background and averaged over the selected intervals were normalized to the intensity of 43 Ca isotope and converted to concentrations by matching the sum of major element oxides to 100 wt % (Liu et al, 2008;Pettke et al, 2004). The calibration and correction of instrumental drift used data on ATHO-G reference glass, which was measured in duplicate after every 18 points on unknown samples.…”

“…According to some estimates, Kamchatka has the largest number of Quaternary calderas per unit of arc length in the world (Hughes and Mahood, 2008). Kamchatka tephra layers provide chronological control for deposits and events over large areas, both in Kamchatka and farther afield, up to Greenland and North America, which is critical for many studies (e.g., Cook et al, 2018;Hulse et al, 2011;Kozhurin et al, 2014;Mackay et al, 2016;Pendea et al, 2016;Pinegina et al, 2013Pinegina et al, , 2014Pinegina et al, , 2012Plunkett et al, 2015;van der Bilt et al, 2017). However, geochemical characterization of Kamchatka volcanic glasses is still in a developing phase.…”

Abstract. Tephra layers produced by volcanic eruptions are widely used for correlation and dating of various deposits and landforms, for synchronization of disparate paleoenvironmental archives, and for reconstruction of magma origin. Here we present our original database TephraKam, which includes chemical compositions of volcanic glass in tephra and welded tuffs from the Kamchatka volcanic arc. The database contains 7049 single-shard major element analyses obtained by electron microprobe and 738 trace element analyses obtained by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry on 487 samples collected in close proximity to their volcanic sources in all volcanic zones in Kamchatka. The samples characterize about 300 explosive eruptions, which occurred in Kamchatka from the Miocene up to recent times. Precise or estimated ages for all samples are based on published 39Ar∕40Ar dates of rocks and 14C dates of host sediments, statistical age modeling and geologic relationships with dated units. All data in TephraKam are supported by information about source volcanoes and analytical details. Using the data, we present an overview of geochemical variations in Kamchatka volcanic glasses and discuss applications of these data for precise identification of tephra layers, their source volcanoes, and temporal and spatial geochemical variations in pyroclastic rocks in Kamchatka. The data files described in this paper are available on ResearchGate at https://doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.23627.13606 (Portnyagin et al., 2019).

“…In the past two decades, the chronological study of prehistoric cultures in Kamchatka has made significant progress from the Upper Paleolithic to the second millennium AD (Goebel et al 2003(Goebel et al , 2010Ponomarenko et al 2002;Ponkratova 2006;Ptashinsky 2012;Takase 2013Takase , 2014Takase , 2020c. These studies have enabled broader research perspectives focusing on the impact of natural disasters on humans and long-distance cultural interaction with North America, the Japanese Islands, and Sakhalin (Goebel et al 2010;Gomez Coutouly and Ponkratova 2016;Kuzmin et al 2008;Pendea et al 2015;Phillips 2011; Takase 2021). One of the most remarkable results in southern Kamchatka is elucidating the occupation history of the Kuril Ainu, an Indigenous people of the northern and central Kuril Islands.…”

Late Holocene Animal Use in Southern Kamchatka

et al. 2023

This study purposed to reveal animal use in southern Kamchatka by examining the largest archaeofaunal collections recovered by Tamara M. Dikova and Nikolai N. Dikov. Radiocarbon dates of charcoal and caribou antler demonstrated that materials for this study were dated during the past 1,600 years, including three cultural periods: Nalychevo Culture (the 15-19th centuries AD), Tar'ya Culture (the mid-first millennium AD), and the intermediate period between them (the early second millennium AD). The taxonomical distribution suggested the significance of true seals and caribou as hunting games. Various roles of sites around Cape Lopatka for seasonal hunting, trade, and manufacturing bone tools were inferred based on bone composition. Caribou antlers, drift whale carcasses, and long bird bones were important materials for making bone tools. The first example of wolf eel and Steller's sea cow remains associated with archaeological sites on the Siberian side of the North Pacific were also reported.
