PIKET - A FORTIFIED SETTLEMENT OF THE TRANSITION PERIOD FROM THE BRONZE TO THE IRON AGE OF THE BIYSK-KATUN INTERFLUVE
Abstract
This article summarizes the field survey of the Piket settlement located in the foothills of Altai. The conclusion is made about its history and cultural identity. Geophysical studies have shown the presence of the complex structure of the monument. The territory of the settlement has fixed architectural and planning development, the houses are designed in an upward direction on the slope, along the longitudinal axis of the monument; allocation is made of the land with dwellings outside the moat. Fortification of the object is represented by the ‘pit shaft' system and escarpment on the northern slope of the cape. Ornamental ceramic tradition of collection indicates that the monument belongs to the final stage of Bolsherechye culture of the transition time from Bronze to Iron (within Blizhneelbansky Stage) which corresponds to the 7th century BC. However, there are fixed elements characteristic for those in the early Iron Age. Design features of the studied structures show a relationship with both the Bronze Age and emerging traditions of the early Iron Age and have analogues among the monuments of the transition from the Bronze Age to the early Iron Age. Thus, it is stated that the period of the Picket settlement accounts for the final stage of the transition time from Bronze to Iron which is consistent with the results of radiocarbon dating.
