Okhotsk Culture (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Okhotsk culture is an archeological coastal fishing and hunter-gatherer culture of the lands surrounding the Sea of Okhotsk (600-1000 CE in Hokkaido, -1500 or 1600 CE in the Kurils): the Amur River basin, Sakhalin, northern Hokkaido, the Kuril Islands, and Kamchatka. It appears to have spread outwards from the Amur River region, only to be partially absorbed or pushed back by the Satsumon culture spreading north from Japan, but surviving for example in the Nivkh of Sakhalin and the Amur and in Itelmen of Kamchatka.
