THE BURIAL OF THE LATE SCYTHIAN PERIOD FROM NORTHERN ALTAI
View through CrossRef
The article presents materials of one of the mounds excavated as part of the Choburak-I burial and memorial complex. This site is located on the right bank of the Katun river, to the south from the Elanda village, in the Chemal district of the Altai Republic. Mound No. 4 was explored by the archaeological expedition of Altai State University in 2015. The key characteristics of the studied object are a small stone mound; a shallow grave pit covered with several layers of slabs; burial chamber in the form of a stone box; burial of a person (men aged 25-35) according to the rite of single inhumation; the crouched position of the deceased, laid on the right side; orientation of the deceased in the western direction; lack of accompanying equipment. Judging by the results of radiocarbon analysis, as well as the existing analogies in the Altai sites, the published complex can be attributed to the northern version of the Pazyryk culture of the Scythian-Saka period, and its chronology is determined by the framework of the final stage in the history of this community.
