Anthropomorphic Images and Tamga-Signs in the Art of Nomads of the Northern Hindustan and Western Tibet in the Early Iron Age
The article primarily examines petroglyphs from Ladakh and Western Tibet, and to some extent from Gilgit-Baltistan. Tamgas, which appeared in the region during the Kushan dynasty, occupy a prominent place among them. Seventeen compositions featuring these symbols are examined. Tamgas are always accompanied by narrative images. Of great interest are the figures of a person holding a tamga or touching it, or situations where the tamga is the center…
Some Subjects of the Votive Copper Figurines of Gorokhovo Culture
A series of copper figures of the “Sapogova type” from votive sets in sanctuaries in the north of the Chelyabinsk Region (Sapogova, Karino etc.) is considered. Today they are attributed to the end of the existence of the Gorokhovo Culture, the elite of which originated from nomadic Sarmatians. There is no reason to see them as an “illustration of the structure of society”, as is commonly thought. Many of their features are ritualistic or do not r…
Некоторые Результаты Полевых Исследований В Южной Осетии В 2025 Г
Рассмотрены некоторые наблюдения в ходе работы историко-архитектурной экспедиции ученых четырех разных организаций в 2025 г. Анализируются несколько интересных зданий и каменных плит с граффити в верховьях двух самых труднодоступных ущелий Южной Осетии — Гнуха и Дзомага. Выявлены эмблемы двух фамилий — Хубаевых и Дзугаевых. Сегодня известны знаки-нысæн для 13 фамилий региона (рис. 6). Брались образцы раствора по проекту самовосстанавливающегося б…
New Materials on Sarmatian Tamga-Signs
8 artifacts with Sarmatian tamgas, which have not yet attracted attention or require additional analysis, are considered. Most of them were not identified by colleagues as tamgas. The signs are presented in chronological order, from the 2nd‐1st centuries BCE to the 4th‐5th c. CE, throughout the territory of Sarmatia from Western Kazakhstan to Romania. These were (except plot 8) household items; of the imported Greek-Roman artifacts, only vessels …
Some features of sanctuaries of the Early Nomads
A comprehensive analysis of the most widespread type of Steppe sanctuaries in the Scythian and Sarmatian times for 1000 years (VI century BC – IV century AD) – round, with ramparts and moats, without a roof covering – is presented. Such structures were common in the area from the Southern Urals and Ustyurt to the Dnieper. The main zones of their spread are the Lower Ural River region and Central Cis-Caucasus. Sometimes they were used by people of…
Tamga Series on a Vessel from Artezian Hillfort
The Artezian Hillfort, located in the European Bosporus, plays a crucial role in understanding early Greek-Sarmatian interactions from the 1 st century BC to the middle of the 1 st century AD. A significant series of Sarmatian tamga signs - the oldest found in the Northern Black Sea Region - has been discovered at this site, connecting various areas of Sarmatia. In 2006, within the Artezian citadel, a fragment of an earthenware jug with a horizon…
Artistic Bone Wares of the Ancient Kangju and the Neighboring Countries
The Kangju artistic narrative bone wares can be productively considered only against the background of earlier and synchronous Xiongnu, Khwarezmian and Bactrian Yuezhi artifacts. Apparently, this range of products and subjects took shape after a series of migrations from the turn of the 2nd-1st centuries BC. Such items were elements of the military male elite subculture, found on nomadic artifacts - belts, bows, boxes for valuable small items. In…
Sarmatian Goddess With Two Horses
The golden handle of the Early Sarmatian mirror from Mayerovskii III east from Volga River has an image of a goddess and two horses. The details of iconography of this personage and accompanying animals, their analogues in the Scythian and Sarmatian times are analyzed. Functionally close to her are the Scythian Snake-footed Goddess and the Yuezhi goddess on the headdress in grave 3 of Tillya Tepe. The analogues of this personage in recent times w…
Archaeological Analogies to the Traditional Costume Elements in the Eastern Hindukush Area
The article analyzes 22 details of the costume of Kafirs and partially the Kalasha of Hindukush which have close analogies among related ancient Iranian-speaking peoples of Pre-Islamic time. The Indo-Scythians and Kushans, who created large powers nearby in the 1st c. BC — 1st c. AD, have the most of such analogies. These peoples had an impact on the clothing of the local Indo-Iranians and, probably, participated in their ethnic history. The infl…
On the Series of Stone Slabs with Sarmatian Tamga Signs in Odessa Archaeological Museum
The analysis of 4 stone slabs with a series of Sarmatian tamgas is based on a series of new detailed photos and on the interpretation of influence of geological factors on the modern appearance of the slabs. The Sarmatian slabs from Olbia and Krivoi Rog were installed vertically, probably on top of the hills. Later these steles were tipped face up and covered with earth, which may be due to meteorological magic. The peasants who found them later …
On the Attribution of the Stater of King Mithridates, Found in 2013 during the Excavation of Artesian Fort
The unique stater 46/47 CE on both sides has imprinted busts of men turned to the right: on the obverse — a beardless man in a laurel wreath, framed by the legend “ΒΑCΙΛΕΩC ΜΙΘΡΙΔΑΤΟΥ”, and on the reverse — a bearded man without a headdress, deliberately barbaric in appearance. In front of the latter there is a sign known both in Central Asia (Khwarazm, where it was found on coins, Kangju and nomadic territories of South and West Kazakhstan), and…
On the Problems of “Reading” the Costume in the Visual Sources
This article provides an overview of the numerous problems associated with the analysis of costume in the visual arts of traditional societies. Most of them are often underestimated. Among the most serious difficulties are those associated with the schematic and fragmented images and the desire to present a complete reconstruction of the costume. Problems in interpretation are created by the poses of the characters, the use of old iconography (in…
Two Sarmatian Stone Slabs with Tamgas in Odessa Archeological Museum Collections
Based on a series of high-quality photos, new analysis was performed for tamgas along with animal and male images on Sarmatian stone slabs from Kryvyi Rih and from Gorgippia. Both stone slabs were created as a result of natural shape stones edges chipping; both were dug into the ground and functioned as the mini-shrines located, probably, in sacred places or at the settlement entrances. They are similar in size, both painted red and both contain …
International archaeological conference “Artefact in the context of burial rite” (Moscow. January 28–30, 2020)
On Planigraphy of the Early Nomadic Steppe Necropolises with the Series of Women-Warriors
Planigraphy studies of both small necropolises with 1-2 female graves and female grave series in large cemeteries is a very promising issue. These findings reflect features of military and political situations, clan and family hierarchy, details of different aspects of a particular woman's status (family, ritual, personal), circumstances surrounding the death. Probably, special personal military merits in the past and a family status of a dead wo…
