现在为西伯利亚和俄罗斯远东旧石器时代遗址建立的大型放射性碳数据库可以用来建立这些地区相对人口规模的图景。我们考虑的时间段CA。46，000到12，000 B.P，我们收集并严格研究了437个放射性碳年代。在1,000 C-14年内的所有日期被认为是一个单一的事件，称为占领插曲。我们的分析结果表明，C-14的日期，直到约。28，000 B. P.是小的，并且在大约2000 B. P.时增加。28000 - 20000 B.P.，并且日期对于CA的频率降低。20，000 - 16，000 BP时间范围。在ca之后。16，000 B. P.，我们看到了大幅上升吗？C-14日期的数量。根据西伯利亚旧石器时代人口的相对规模，人口密度一直很小。36，000 B. P.之后，人口规模逐渐增加，约为1000。36，000 - 16，000 B.P，生长速率在约10000 - 10000 B. 16，000 - 12，000 B. P.来自约1000年的职业数量。20，000至18，000 B. P.并没有减少，这与西伯利亚在末次冰盛期完全或相当大程度上人口减少的论点相反。
The large radiocarbon database now established for Paleolithic sites in Siberia and the Russian Far East can be used to build up a picture of relative population size in these regions. We consider the time period of ca. 46,000 to 12,000 B.P for which we have assembled and critically studied 437 radiocarbon dates. All dates from individual sites that fall within 1,000 C-14 years are considered as a single event and called occupation episode. The results of our analysis show that the number of C-14 dates until ca. 28,000 B.P. is small and increases at ca. 28,000-20,000 B.P., and dates decrease in frequency for the ca. 20,000-16,000 B.P. time range. It is after ca. 16,000 B.P. that we see a substantial rise it? the number of C-14 dates. In terms of the relative size of Siberian Paleolithic populations based on the frequency of occupation episodes, population density was small until ca. 36,000 B.P. Subsequently, population size increased gradually at ca. 36,000-16,000 B.P, and the growth rate became almost exponential at ca. 16,000-12,000 B.P. The number of occupations from ca. 20,000 to 18,000 B.P. did not decrease, running counter to arguments that Siberia was completely or considerably depopulated during the Last Glacial Maximum.
