Steppe – Forest-Steppe System in Formation of the Southern Ural Nomadic Culture in the Mid – Second Half of the 1st Millennium Bc
Like any science, archeology relies on sustainable concepts, most of which were formed decades ago. Therefore, these concepts can be used only through the lens of contemporary critical analysis subject to continuous adjustments. One of the key concepts of the Southern Ural nomadic world in the mid-1st millennium BC is the “migration” concept formulated by M.G. Moshkova in 1974 and significantly developed in the works of subsequent decades. Throug…
Imendyashevo Antiquities from the Southern Ural Forest-Steppe
The history of the identification of Imendyashevo antiquities, which were classified by different researchers as either a distinct type of site or a separate archaeological culture, is considered. Comparative analysis demonstrates that Imendyashevo ceramics acts as a marker of the late stage of the Kara-Abyz culture and as an evolutionary continuation of the Ubalar type within this culture. The Ubalar type was formed no later than the mid 4th – t…

It is shown that this burial belongs to the earlier stage of the Early Iron Age (late 9 th—8 th centuries BC). It was the time when a bright and recognizable “nomadic complex” was spreadin…
Нижнепалеолитическая стоянка-мастерская Кусимово-8 (Южное Зауралье)
Introduction. Comprehensive and efficient investigations of the earliest peopling of the Southern Urals became possible after the discovery of Mysovaya site in Abzelilovsky District of Bashkortostan (Russia). The Paleolithic materials from this site were considered mixed — Acheulean/Mousterian — or Mousterian proper. In recent years, the Lower and Middle Paleolithic site of Kusimovo-8 has been discovered nearby. This is a scattered workshop site …

Interdisciplinary Studies of the Maylybay-2 Kurgan (Bashkir Trans-Urals)
The article outlines results of an interdisciplinary study on the Maylybay-2 single kurgan located in the mountain-steppe zone of the Irendyk ridge, the most eastern ridge of the Ural Mountains (Russia, Republic of Bashkortostan, Baimaksky District). The kurgan was a ruined stone structure — a hollow crypt type (mausoleum), close to a square shape. The grave represented a deep oval pit containing one burial. 25–35 years old female skeleton was fo…

Исследования Стоянки Первомайский-1 (Эпоха Камня, Ранние Кочевники, Новое Время) В Южном Зауралье
Представлены результаты исследования выявленной в 2019 г. стоянки Первомайский-1, расположенной в Абзелиловском районе Башкортостана, на берегу небольшого распаханного озера на вершине степного водораздельного сырта. Судя по полученным материалам, стоянка являлась местом кратковременного освоения в финале эпохи камня (неолит-энеолит), в эпоху раннего железа (V-IV вв. до н.э.) и в Новое время (середина – вторая половина XIX в.). Представлен анализ…
