THE EARLY TURKISH FENCE OF THE KHUREE ZUSLAN-I COMPLEX (Mongolian Altai)
Abstract
For more than ten years, the study of the Turkic fences of the Mongolian Altai has been one of the areas of research activity of the Buyant Russian-Mongolian archaeological expedition, created in 2007 by the employees of three universities from Barnaul, Ulaanbaatar and Khovd to implement the planned international projects. The results obtained have been timely put into scientific use. Excavations carried out in 2018 at the Khuree Zuslan-I site in the Bayan-Ulgiy aimag allowed obtaining some samples for radiocarbon analysis. The article gives a detailed description of the next investigated ritual object of the Early Turkic time, which has its own specific features, peculiarities and absolute chronological indicators that confirm the dating of the drawn analogies. It is important to note the need for further research of similar archaeological complexes of the early Middle Ages with the use of natural-scientific methods. This also applies to the indicated site where a series of Turkic fences has been documented.
