INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDY OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES OF THE BRONZE AGE - EARLY IRON AGE OF THE OB-IRTYSH INTERFLUVE AND CROSS-BORDER REGIONS
The paper presents the main results of work which were obtained by the group of researchers implementing the project in the framework of the joint laboratory of Altai State University and the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. At the burial site Tartas-1 (Vengerovsky District of the Novosibirsk Region), complexes of the Pahomovskaya culture despite the finds related to bronze production, are not production sites, however determined as the area of origin of irrational actions. The ceramic complex site Krohalevka 13 reveales morphological similarity with the products of the eastern variant of the burial Pahomovskaya culture found at the Old Garden site. The research states the predominance of specific methods of hearth making typical for the carriers of different archaeological cultures of the Bronze Age in Western Siberia. The conclusion is made about the impact of the level of industrial activity and the nature of the settlement (seasonal / permanent) on the choice of the hearth type. The specification was made of the elements for the funerary practices with the use of poultry and fish, reflecting the peculiarities of adaptation of the carriers of the Sargatskaya culture of the Barabinskaya forest steppe to the natural conditions. The study of wooden materials of the Hun-Sarmatian time (II BC - V AD) demonstrates a high level of wood processing in the home production. The record was made of almost complete absence of carved objects.
