Newly accumulated data suggests that a culture accompanying pottery emerged in Amurland at least approximately c.13000 BP. The important point is that we cannot find circumstances under which a major change had occurred in the process of pottery emergence between this culture and the previous culture. This can also be seen from the condition of sites that both accompanied and did not accompany pottery coexisting in the same area. Thus,the use of pottery undoubtedly began in a group equipped with microblade techniques,which had belonged to the Upper Paleolithic culture

The post-Osipovka Neolithic culture has been understood as follows:the Mal’shevo culture emerged approximately c.6000 to 5000 BP, passed through the Kondon culture approximately c. 5000 to 3000 BP, became the Voznesenskoe culture approximately c.3000 BP, and at around mid-2000 B.C., shifted to the Early Iron culture(Fig.3).

Furthermore, his characterization differed greatly from the previous sequence;in his reevaluation he concluded that the Kondon culture had preceded the Mal’shevo culture( 2004)

Recent accumulation of materials show the possibility that, in the transition of the Amur Neolithic culture,the Osipovka culture was followed by the cultural stages of Malinsk,Kondon, and Mal’shevo,which were accompanied the arrowheads on the blade and blade technique and which also might have had a certain existing period

What led to the emergence of pottery:(1) the expansion of the forest environment and the resulting use of nuts, and (2) the shift from a mobile lifestyle dependent on forest and grassland resources to a more settled way of life dependent on the major river aquatic resources.

However, judging from the archaeological materials examined thus far, it is difficult to find a major change in lifestyles and residential conditions. It is difficult to understand that the emergence of a sedentism derived from the emergence of pottery. It has been pointed out that the knowledge and technology to bake clay was shared among Upper Paleolithic groups in Siberia. In fact, the emergence of pottery as earthen vessels and the shift in lifestyles and subsisting activity are probably not interlinked.

Yaroslav V. Kuzmin, The earliest centers of pottery origin in Siberia and the Russian Far East: Review of chronology and palaeoeconomy of the oldest Neolithic cultures.
Extensive radiocarbon dating of Siberian Neolithic sites allows revealing general trend in the Neolithisation process. The earliest Neolithic sites appeared to be in the Amur River basin at ca. 13,000 BP (Osipovka and Gromatukha cultures), and in the Vitim River basin at ca. 11,000 BP (Ust-Karenga culture). The rest of Siberia is characterised by much later beginning of Neolithic, starting at ca. 8000-6000 BP in Western and Eastern Siberia, and at ca. 4600-2600 BP in Northeastern Siberia.
In spite of the early emergence of pottery, in both Amur and Vitim River basins, the Neolithic economy continued to base on hunting, fishing, and plant gathering. The agriculture in Siberia appeared in the Late Neolithic and Bronze Age, at ca. 4000 BP.

It was demonstrated that the Gromatukha and Osipovka early Neolithic cultures of Pri-amurye had been formed on the basis of the Late Selemdja Culture.
