Naukan, Archaeological site in Chukotsky District, Russia.

Naukan is an archaeological site located on Cape Dezhnev along the northeastern coast of the Chukotka Peninsula, near the settlement of Uelen in Russia's remote Arctic region.

Naukan was founded in the 14th century and, until 1958, was the easternmost settlement in Eurasia. In 1648 Semyon Dezhnev's koch was wrecked near the village, an event now marked by a bust on Mount Ingegruk, a wooden cross of 1910 and a 1956 monument by architect B. K. Semenenko. The Yupik inhabitants, about 400 people in thirteen clans, were moved out from 1954 and the settlement was formally disbanded on 20 November 1958.

Naukan was home to approximately 400 Yupik Inuit people who spoke the Naukan language and relied on traditional subsistence activities including seal hunting, walrus hunting, and fishing for survival.

The site is located at approximately 66 degrees north latitude and 170 degrees west longitude, accessible primarily through specialized transportation arrangements from nearby communities such as Uelen in the Chukotsky District.

The Soviet government forcibly relocated all inhabitants of Naukan in 1958 as part of a consolidation effort, displacing the indigenous community to settlements including Uelen, Lavrentiya, and Lorino across Chukotka.
