FINDS OF ARTIFACTS FROM THE CHARYSHSKY DISTRICT OF THE ALTAI TERRITORY
Abstract
The paper is devoted to the generalization and characterization of random finds from the territory of the Charyshsky district of the Altai Territory. The summary includes both previously published items and new artifacts, information about which was received by the authors during thearchaeological research of the Ust-Teplaya burial ground in 2020. The collection of artifacts published for the first time consists of three items. This is a double-headed iron psalium with sculptural design of the tips in the form of the heads of mythical birds with an elongated beak, a horn double-headed psalium and a bronze knife with a ring pommel. These items supplement the body of random finds from the area under consideration, which includes items already published in the scientific literature, such as stone drilled axes belonging to the Afanasyevo culture of the Eneolithic era of the 31st — 27th centuries BC, stone mace pommel and bronze dagger of the early and Middle Bronze period of the 22nd — 15th centuries BC and bronze bits of the Early Scythian time of the 8th — 6th centuries BC. The paper also presents the results of X-ray fluorescence analysis of a metal knife and bit, which showed that the objects were cast from a copper-tin alloy.The analyzed artifacts, random finds from the territory of the Charyshsky district of the Altai Territory, reflect various historical and cultural stages of the development of the population of Northern Altai. The artifacts add to the collection of archaeological sources on the ancient history of the region, from the Eneolithic to the early Middle Ages inclusively.
