EARLY SCYTHIAN BURIAL FROM THE KARBAN TERRAIN (NORTHERN ALTAI)
View through CrossRef
The article concerns the cultural and chronological interpretation of the early Scythian burial mound No. 8, excavated as part of the multi-temporal Karban-I complex. This site, located in the Chemal district of the Altai Republic was partially investigated by the expedition of the Barnaul State Pedagogical Institute in 1989-1990. The published object is a small mound, in the embankment of which a rectangular stone box was built. In a shallow pit,was the burial of a woman who died at the age of about 50, laid in a crouched position on her right side and oriented to the eastern sector of the horizon. Taking into account the recorded characteristics of the rite, as well as the available information about the time of construction of other objects of the Karban-I necropolis, this complex is attributed to the early Scythian period and dated within the broad framework of the 8th - first half of the 6th centuries BC.
