  • Techniques for Processing Lithic Material during Epipalaeolithic in the Eastern Elbrus Region (On Materials of the Naves Badynoko Site)

    Open Access•M V Seletsky, Svetlana Shnaider et al.•ARTICLE•Vestnik NSU Series History and…•2020

    Purpose. The rock shelter Badynoko site is one of the key archaeological sites of the Eastern Elbrus region, which contains stratified archaeological complexes of the Final Pleistocene and Early Holocene. Stone industries at this site are the most important evidence for studying the cultural dynamics, economic and technological transformations that took place during the Epipalaeolithic time in Northern Caucasus. We aimed at conducting technologic…

  • The Use of 3D-Modeling for Reconstructing the Appearance and Function of Non-Utilitarian Items (the Case of Anthropomorphic Figurines from Tourist-2)

    Open Access•K Kolobova, А Yu Fedorchenko et al.•ARTICLE•Archaeology Ethnology and…•2020•Cited by: 6•References: 4

    This article presents the results of study of an Early Bronze ivory figurine from Tourist-2, using 3D-scanning with various technical parameters. The aim of the study was to test the new non-invasive methods of structured light 3D-scanning, with an accurate assessment of morphometric characteristics. In addition, use-wear analysis was employed to evaluate the previously unknown features relating to function. As a result, the original appearance o…

  • Early Upper Paleolithic Serpentine Ornaments from Ust-Karakol, Northwestern Altai

    Open Access•А Yu Fedorchenko, N E Belousova et al.•ARTICLE•Archaeology Ethnology and…•2020•Cited by: 7•References: 1

    We describe the spatial context, technology, and possible function of serpentine-antigorite artifacts discovered at the Ust-Karakol Early Upper Paleolithic site in the Altai Mountains. The ornaments were made locally, with a single manufacturing process. They were fragmented either at the preform stage or at the stage of final trimming. There are no use-wear traces. The chaine operatoire included the preparation of blanks, biconical drilling, and…

  • Portrait” Medallions from the Kazym Hoard

    Open Access•А Yu Fedorchenko, Н В Федорова et al.•ARTICLE•Archaeology Ethnology and…•2020

    We describe so-called portrait medallions and plaques with similar representations from a hoard found near Kyzym, the Beloyarsky District of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug-Yugra in the summer of 20I4. We introduce I7 artifacts cast of bronze and differing in shape and technological level. These fall into two groups in terms of quality. The principal questions addressed in the article are where, by whom, and based on which prototypes the Kazym …
