Abstract

The article is the first to compilied a multilevel hierarchy of the cultural landscape of the Khatanga-Anabar region. The identified local landscapes are designated as South Khatanga Dolgan, No.rth Khatanga Dolgan, Saskylakh Dolgan-Evenki and Yuryung-Khainsky Dolgan micro-regions. These local micro-regions reach the meso-level represented by the Khatanga and Anabar lands of Krasnoyarsk Krai and Sakha Republic (Yakutia).
