В результате недавних археологических исследований канадских, американских и российских ученых в Прибайкалье установлено, что в среднем голоцене на данной территории в соответствии с радиоуглеродными данными наблюдается две больших культурно-исторических группы, существовавших до «культурного перерыва» и после «культурного перерыва» (~ кал. 8000–7000 тыс. л. н. и 6000–4000 тыс. л. н.). В настоящем исследовании речь идет о последствиях использования понятия «пост-хиатус» (период после культурного перерыва) в изучении доисторического населения юга Сибири. Высказано предположение, что эта монолитная группировка позволила археологам провести высокопродуктивное сравнение между хронологически неоднородными популяциями, выявить и провести анализ ряда интересных аспектов жизнедеятельности представителей древних общностей, населяющих данную область, и одновременно способствовала развитию антииндивидуалистического подхода к культурным изменениям в регионе в западной науке.
