Mongolian and Uyghur Inscriptions in the Northern Minusinsk Basin
This article is devoted to the inscriptions carved on a rock near Lake Sul’fatskoe in the Minusinsk Basin, Siberia, among which there is one text in Mongolian and two in Old Uyghur. Based on their content, it is evident that at least two of these inscriptions were composed in 1274 by the same individual – an envoy of Khan Nikpei from the Chagatai Ulus named Köke Singqur, who was of Uyghur or other Turkic origin. The purpose of his visit may have …
Heads without bodies
This paper studies the role of cattle in the rituals and beliefs of early pastoralists in the eastern Eurasian steppe belt. It presents and analyses two types of materials associated with the Okunev culture of the Minusinsk Basin during the middle of the third – early second millennium BCEE: 1) images of cattle heads and complete animal figures on rocks, stelae, and slabs; and 2) cattle skulls in ritual pits discovered mostly within the Okunev ce…
Xiongnu Rulers’ Residences in the Historical Records of the Han Dynasty
Han Dynasty chroniclers recorded valuable information about key settlements in the Xiongnu Empire, specifically those where the residence of the Chanyu was located. Though the first nomadic empire’s political centre is linked to theories of early urbanisation in the eastern steppe, detailed examination of the historiographical terminology is lacking. We analyse the terminology to assess how settlements were perceived through the lens of Han cultu…
Studying seriality in material culture by geometric morphometrics–gold wild boars from the Arzhan-2 barrow, Tuva
In the field of material culture, seriality refers to the serial production of nearly the same object in terms of shape and size, yielding visually identical artefacts. Subtle variations may nevertheless occur, depending on the technologies used, or the number and reliability of moulds, for example. Geometric morphometrics based on landmark analysis, along with accompanying statistical techniques, provides methods well-suited for identifying smal…

An Eastern Tibetan Tool for Managing Draught Cattle
This study, based on a trip to the Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Region of Qinghai Province, China in August 2018, focuses on the tradition of using wooden nose-rings for managing draught yaks and yak-cow hybrids, still practiced in Tibet. The materials and technology for manufacturing this tool are described, and measurements are provided. I describe variants of the traditional yoke and plow (ard) system used in conjunction with a nose-ring and ident…
Late Bronze Age Petroglyphs of Unyuk Mountain, in the Minusinsk Basin
This study introduces a new southern Siberian rock art site, situated on the Unyuk Mountain, in the Minusinsk Basin, and studied in 20I6-20I7. Stylistically, the main petroglyphs date to the Late Bronze Age, i.e. late 2nd to early 1st millennia BC. Of special interest are images of oxen with ropesfixed in their noses. Such petroglyphs are rare in that region. In one case, the ox is tied to a pillar; in the other case, a man leads it. The composit…

Paint on Deer Stones of Mongolia
This study focuses on traces of paint on stone stelae ("deer stones") of Mongolia, dating to late second to mid-fi rst millennia BC. Painting was made in various shades of red. In all cases, remains of paint were found on facets which had been protected from weathering because the stelae had collapsed or been reused. An additional protection might have been provided by a calcite crust formed where the stelae contacted the ground. Based on the rol…
Horn Figurines From an Okunev Burial on Lake Itkul, Khakassia, Southern Siberia1
Eight miniature horn figurines representing human-like characters and heads of birds, elk, boar, and a carnivore, were found in grave 4 at Itkol II mound 14, northern Minusinsk Basin. The burial dates to the early (Uybat) stage of the Okunev culture (second half of the 3rd millennium BC). The form and composition of certain figurines resemble those of Okunev steles
The Bronze Age Rock Art of Malye Arbaty
The present article introduces the results of new studies into earlier images at the Malye Arbaty rock art site located in the Western Sayan Mountains, on the southwestern periphery of the Minusinsk Basin. The red-painted images are dated to the end of the 3rd and beginning of the 2nd millennium BC. Two stylistic groups have been distinguished one of which includes figures comparable with early Okunev images located in the steppe part of the Minu…
Stone Stele Bearing a “Sun-Headed” Deity on the Tuim River, Khakassia
The present article gives a description of a stone stele discovered during a Finnish Antiquarian Society Expedition to the northern Minusinsk Basin in 1887–1889, and cites the research conducted previously. The article presents the author's view that the stele serves as an example of early Okunev art (late 3rd millennium BC). The article particularly focuses on the possible meaning of the representation. An interdisciplinary approach is considere…
