Hi LA,
I will slowly look in my archological library, go through different eras and cultures. Hope I dig up something useful

Mir fallen da immer Tschuktschen und Korjaken als "asiatische Eskimos" mit ihrer eigenartigen Rüstung ein, obwohl diese Knochen-&-Horn-Rüstung sicher von Süden her und erst mittelalterlich beeinflusst ist. Ihc müsste grad mal suchen, ob es da gutes Fundmaterial gibt.

The first post-glacial population of Europe had a diverse material culture. In the region of Karelia and Southern Finland, rich burials with thousands of pendants made of elk incisors and plates of beaver incisors were found. These items were sewn onto a headdress, made up wide belts and chest decorations, and were attached to clothes and shoes. Bear fangs with threads and holes were also used.

Decorations and objects of art made of bone and horn: 1-4, 15 - figurines of people and snakes, 6, 5 - elk heads, 14 - dagger with flint inserts and carved pattern, 17 - slate tile with carved ornament, 19 - bone dagger with elk head handle


Flint and bone weapons:
1, 2, 4-7, 9, 10, 12 - arrowheads; 3, 8, 11, 13 - harpoons; 1, 2, 4-6 - flint; 3, 7-13 - bone

For a better understanding, let's consider the spatial organization of the Mesolithic sites of Veretje culture (7th millennium BC, Arkhangelsk region)
The Veretye economy is based on hunting (elk, reindeer, beaver, bear, wolf, arctic fox, etc.) with the use of a dog, fishing (pike, perch, bream, tench, burbot), gathering in conditions colder than in the Neolithic and now, the climate (forests were dominated by European pine, cedar pine, birch; occasionally spruce, juniper, alder). The population of Veretye is culturally close to groups of hunter-gatherers from the modern. territories of the Baltic and southern Finland to Germany and Jutland.

Veretje 1 located on the left bank of the Kinema River. Area approx. 1.5 thousand square meters, the remains of 3 dwellings of 40-65 square meters each (square and rectangular, 2 of them two-chambered), built of poles and covered with soft materials, most likely with skins. To strengthen the structure, the base was covered with large stones. Inside, there were one or two hearths on sandy bedding or made of stones; such hearths were between the houses.
