CHEST-PIECES OF THE ELOVKA SETTLEMENT: LATE BRONZE AGE (BASED ON THE MATERIALS OF THE SITES NEARTHE VILLAGE OF ELOVKA, TOMSK REGION)
Abstract
This article is one of a series of works by the author about the Elovka settlement. This relates to the beginning of the discussion, started by I.V. Kovtun, about the cultures of the Late Bronze Age in the Upper Ob region. The Elovka settlement, which is one of the main sites for the archaeology of the Late Bronze Age of this region, unfortunately, has been studied only by excavations, but not in the office. Therefore, colleagues may have a misconception about the cultural and chronological settlement complexes of this site, which can lead to misinterpretation of the materials. Partially correcting this situation, the author publishes materials from the excavations by V.I. Matyushchenko 1982. This article discusses a small collection of bone cheek-pieces found in 1982 by V.I. Matyushchenko during the excavations of the Elovka settlement. It should be noted that cheek-pieces are missing at both Elovka burial grounds. By analogy with the settlement of Kamenny Log-I (Middle Yenisei), its can be dated to the 10th–9th centuries BC. This may be important for dating of some sections of the settlement. Blanks and whole products testify to the process of their manufacture, starting with cutting the bone and ending with polishing. Some technological details suggest the presence of specialized tools. For example, thin drills (from 2.2 mm in diameter). Straps of different widths were used to fasten cheek-pieces.
