Abstract
The paper deals with historical reconstruction of the Buryats food system in the first half of the XIX century. Based on the archival and literary sources the author proves that the Buryats preserved their traditional food system, however, it was gradually influenced by the new types of economic activities (arable farming, fishery, vegetable gardening). These innovations in food system were especially typical of the settled Buryats.
