N2 - This chapter presents an examination of Paleolithic objects from various sites in Siberia (both Western and Eastern Siberia, and in Yakutia in the north to the Transbaikal zone in the south), specifically focusing on those from the Middle, or the classical stage of the Upper Paleolithic (25,000-18,000/17,000 BP) or Last Glacial Maximum. We discuss theories on the uses of “prestige technologies” (see Hayden, 1998) and argue that a growing prestige economy was characteristic of egalitarian societies during this period in Siberia. The ritualistic artifacts discussed here from the Last Glacial Maximum had symbolic significance for their creators and consumers while at the same time also reveal the growing power differentiation within the ancient Siberian communities that created them.
