A culture of the Vladivostok area of eastern Siberia from the late 2nd millennium BC. The population lived in coastal settlements of semi-subterranean houses, which are associated with shell middens. Characteristic tools were made of polished slate, though small quantities of iron were also used. The area came under strong influence from Manchuria and China, and in the 1st millennium AD it formed part of the Po Hai state.

[Shell Midden culture]. Culture found in the Vladivostok area of eastern Siberia from the late 2nd millennium bc. The population lived in coastal settlements of semi-subterranean houses, which are associated with shell middens. Fish and shellfish were clearly important in the diet, but pigs and dogs were bred for food and it is possible that crops were also grown. Characteristic tools were made of polished slate, though small quantities of iron were also used. The area came under strong influence from Manchuria and China and in the 1st millennium ad it formed part of the Po-hai state.
