STONE VESSELS FROM THE EARLY BRONZE SITES OF THE BUYANT VALLEY (Mongolian Altai)

 

Joint research conducted for several years by employees of Altai State University (Barnaul, Russia) and Khovd State University (Hovd, Mongolia) in Western Mongolia made it possible to record bright burial complexes of the Bronze Age. Important results were obtained in the study of various archaeological sites in the Khovd Aimak of Mongolia. The article gives a description of stone vessels from the monuments of early bronze, discovered and excavated in the Buyant valley near the town of Khovd. This territory is connected with the eastern spurs of the Mongolian Altai. The finds come from funerary objects. The analysis of the obtained materials and the results of radiocarbon dating allowed the cultural-chronological attribution of the archaeological sites studied, as well as the reconstruction of some elements of the technology for the production of stone tanks. The territorial distribution of similar findings made it possible to identify the areas of existence of the traditions of making and using vessels made of stones. The structural features of the investigated funerary structures and a few ware complexes have correspondences in the materials of Xinjiang and adjacent regions, dated by early bronze and united in the culture of Cherokek / community. In addition, there are similarities with other archaeological evidence from Kazakhstan and southern Siberia.

Key words: Mongolian Altai, early Bronze, funeral constructions, radiocarbon dating, stone vessels.
