This paper explores the problem of the correlation of rock art traditions and archaeological cultures of the lower Amur basin (Russian Far East) in the Neolithic period. The aim of the paper is to reconsider established chronology based on recent archaeological findings and advances in rock art data. This researcher’s previous paper on this topic only considered face design, but in this article, zoomorphic images are also examined. A recently-discovered pattern of a long-lasting rock art tradition is explained through an anthropological perspective on ethnicity, identity, social practice, symbolism and community.

本文探讨了新石器时代阿穆尔流域下游(俄罗斯远东地区)岩画传统与考古学文化的关联性问题。本文旨在根据最近的考古发现和岩画资料的进展,重新考虑既定的年表。该研究人员之前关于这一主题的论文只考虑了人面像的设计,但在本文中,还对动物图像进行了研究。通过人类学关于民族、身份、社会实践、象征意义和社区的思考方法,对最近发现的一种源远流长的岩画传统模式进行了解释。
