Stone tools of the Vorovskaya Yama metallurgical mine in the Southern Urals
The article is the first-time presentation of the complex of stone tools attributed to the Southern Urals Alakul culture and utilized at copper fields.The source of the study is a collection excavated at the Vorovskaya Yama mine (Kizilsky District, Chelyabinsk Region) operated in 1600s-1500s BC. 83 items are functionally attributed using a traceological analysis; the items are exposed to petrographical research and planigraphic distribution at th…
Meat Supply of Alakul Miners at the Bronze Age Vorovskaya Yama Copper Mine (Southern Trans-Urals)
In this paper, we analyze what can be learned about the meat supply of the Alakul miners of the Late Bronze Age using archaeozoology, Sr-isotope analysis, and radiocarbon dating techniques. The study is based on a sample of domestic animal bone originating from the Vorovskaya Yama copper mine site in the southern Trans-Urals. The site functioned over a period of about two centuries starting around 1600 BCE. Cattle, caprines, and horses constitute…

Alakul textiles based on 87Sr/86Sr isotopes analysis
The article focuses on determining the possible regions of origin of wool fiber in Bronze Age Alakul textiles from the Southern Trans-Urals (first half of the 2nd millennium BC). The main method is the analysis of 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios. The comparison was made for values of 12 textile samples from the Stepnoye VII, Alakul and Agapovka II burial grounds with those on interpolated background maps of bioavailable strontium and for other archaeobi…
The Geochemistry of Unalloyed Copper Metallurgical Group Indicates Copper Ore Sources in the Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages of the Urals
Trace elements in copper artifacts from Late Bronze and Early Iron Age sites in the Urals, formerly attributed to the metallurgical group of “chemically pure” copper, were analyzed using the method of laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The metal of which artifacts included in this group are made reveals geochemical markers suggesting that “pure” copper actually falls into several subgroups. The PCA analysis of the result…

The nature of some Late Bronze Age iron-bearing artefacts of the Ural-Kazakhstan region
The problem of the beginning of iron production in the Late Bronze Age of the Ural-Kazakhstan region is dis-cussed. For this, 13 iron-bearing artefacts from nine settlements that functioned in the 2nd mil. BC were studied using the SEM-EDS and LA-ICP-MS methods: metal objects, metallurgical slags, and a bimetallic droplet. Most of the studied artefacts are not related to the iron metallurgy. High ferric impurities in copper metal products of the …

From Ore to Metal
The Novotemirsky mine was the first in the Southeastern Urals to have large areas of the site uncovered. This has yielded new information on the technologies practiced by the first metallurgists in the region and on the evolution of these practices in the second millennium BC. Cultural layers revealed evidence of all stages of Bronze Age metal production. Mining is documented by pits of various forms and adjoining waste dumps. This is the first t…
