Johann Georg Gmelin and Tomskaya Pisanitsa (To the three Hundred and Fifth Anniversary of the Researcher's Birth)
The article describes a remarkable episode of visiting Tomskaya Pisanitsa and its copying by a part of the academic unit of the Second Kamchatka—the Great Northern Expedition led by Johann Georg Gmelin in October 1734. It is suggested that the artist Johann Christian Berkhan made a sketch of the expeditionary group of J.G. Gmelin, which was sailing on boats from Kuznetsk to Tomsk, against the background of Tomskaya Pisanitsa
The Dolgaya-1 Site and the Novoromanovo Rock Art Gallery
The Dolgaya-1 site and Novoromanovo rock art gallery in the Kemerovo Province, southern Siberia, may be jointly regarded as an unusual archaeological and petroglyphic complex dating to the Bronze Age. The proposed interpretation is based on the idea of a hunting feast in the context of the seasonal myth about a cosmic hunt. Late Ugrian and Evenkian reminiscences of this myth are discussed. The geographic location of Dolgaya-1 and Novoromanovo, sp…

Horse-Headed” Staffs and the Cult of the Horse Head in Northwestern Asia in the 2nd Millennium Bc
This article analyzes the semantics of staffs with the sculptural representations of horse heads. Such staffs were discovered in the steppe and forest-steppe Ob-Irtysh region; they date back to the beginning or the first half of the 2nd millennium BC. Stylistically early and later objects are identified. The study provides some parallels with Siberian ethnographic data and the mythology of the Indo-European peoples. The Indo-Aryan semantic conten…
The archekas celt and the issue of the seima-turbino period in the kuznetsk basin and in the achinsk-mariinsk forest-steppe
This study focuses on the typological, cultural and chronological attribution of the Seima-Turbino bronzes, which were found in the Kuznetsk Basin and the Achinsk-Mariinsk forest-steppe. The authors provide a general review of pseudotextile ceramics, which were widespread in the early 2nd millennium BC in the area spreading from the Tom River to the Tobol River. It is suggested that this cultural association of the Kuznetsk Basin is related to th…
The Bear Image in Western Siberian Art of the 2nd Millennium Bc and Its Relevance for Delimiting the Eastern Periphery of the Samus Culture
The paper addresses the artistic features and meaning of clay and metal representations of bears in early 2nd millennium BC art of Western Siberia. These representations are linked to various Bronze Age cultural traditions of the region. Four groups of representations are described: staffs, pendants, containers shaped as bear heads, and heads. The author attempts to identify the context of Bronze Age pendants shaped like bears. Based on the analy…
