Extract

The following survey is intended to cover that portion of Asia lying nearest to the New World and hence presumably most closely related thereto historically and culturally — that is, the lower Lena basin and the region lying east of it, forming the northeastern extension of the continent. For the sake of precision we will set as limits the 110th meridian on the west and latitude 62°, roughly that of Yakutsk, on the south.

As in comparable regions of our own continent, vast portions of this area still remain archaeologically unknown. However, significant work has been done in recent years which merits the attention of Americanists, in particular that by A. P. Okladnikov along the Lena River.
