“Chernoozerye Dagger”: Towards a Biography of the Artifact
This paper reconstructs the post-excavation biography of an ornamented composite bone tool – the so-called “Chernoozerye dagger” – recovered from cultural layer 1 of the Final Paleolithic site of Chernoozerye 2 (Sargatsky District, Omsk Oblast, Western Siberia). The artifact, fashioned from the diaphyseal wall of a large mammal long bone, represents a slotted bone tool fitted with quartzite microblade insets along both lateral grooves and bearing…
Identification of Use-Wear Traces on Slotted Eyes of Palaeolithic Bone Needles Aused by Animal and Plant-Derived Threads: Discussion of the Results of Initial Experiments
Paleolithic needles are well known to the scientific community for their variety of models and practical applications. Needles with an eye attract attention not only because of the method of creating the eye but also due to the traces of wear that aid in their identification. Active experimental work on this topic is well-documented; however, the variability and incomplete reporting of protocols, as well as the subjective nature of result evaluat…
The Earliest Snake Images in the Middle Irtysh Region
Герпетоморфные образы достаточно редки в палеолитических и мезолитических коллекциях. В древнейших изобразительных материалах Среднего Прииртышья относительно недавно выявлено несколько оригинальных в стилистическом, графическом и сюжетном планах изображений змей, которые датируются финалом палеолита — мезолитом. Они выполнены в различных видах гравировки, оформляют поверхности костяных лезвийных предметов. Исследование посвящено известным в науч…
The Earliest Snake Images in the Middle Irtysh Region
Herpetomorphic images are quite rare in Paleolithic and Mesolithic art. Published bone daggers from Cherno-Ozerye (OMK 9675/702) and Aitkulovo (MAEAAGU OF 93) are the earliest examples of the Middle Irtysh Final Paleolithic or Mesolithic art showing snakes engraved in a stylistically original manner. Both specimens show opposed reptiles striving, as it were, to meet. This plot has so far not been described or geographically localized. An attempt …
Mechanical-Workmanship Fine-Hide Perforation with a Bone Needle: Interpretation of Experimental Results
Purpose. The experiments aimed at reconstruction of ancient sewing/needlework processes date back to the end of the 20th century. The purpose of the research is obtaining and analysing the traces of utilisation, along with the dynamics and specifics of their formation on a bone needle (with a vegetable-fibre thread) in the conditions of a small number of perforation holes on a fragment of fine mechanical-workmanship hide.Results. The study presen…
Ornamental decoration of a dagger from Aytkulovo: Results of Graphic Analysis
Bone ornamented items of the end of the Paleolithic - Mesolithic periods are very rare in the south of Western Siberia. While some of them have dating context, others are accidental finds. Despite the circumstances of their discovery and limited amount of relevant information, there is a need to consider the issues of dominant subjects, compositional morphology, technical execution of ornaments covering their surfaces and relations with the mater…
Experimental Results of Using the Bone Needle for Punching Rough-Workmanship Hides
Purpose. The seemingly simple procedures, the methods of their implementation in remote times may cause heated discussions among the researchers. Bonding of skins and hides is difficult to imagine without the involvement of a needle and thread, but do we always have correct ideas about their use by our predecessors? To a certain extent, this problem is solved by an experiment; the main stages thereof are described in the article. Its purpose is t…
Paleographic evidence of localization of the early Holocene cultural unity in the southwest of Western Siberia
In the article the results of paleographic analysis of two daggers from the Chernoozerye II site (Sargatsky district, Omsk region) and the Pegan burial (Makushinsky district, Kurgan region) are presented. The Pegan design as it concerns to the shape and morphology, which is based on the “rhombus chains”, is an invariant of the Chernoozerye prototype. The revealed complexity of the analogy, which includes the symbolic syntax of the ornamental text…
Cruciform Signs Decorating Paleolithic Bone Artifacts from Cherno-Ozerye II, the Middle Irtysh Area
В научный оборот вводятся костяные изделия с орнаментальным оформлением со стоянки конца эпохи палеолита Черноозерье II в Среднем Прииртышье. Представлены фрагмент рукояти костяного кинжала, обнаруженный в ходе археологических работ 1971 г., и фрагменты костяных «игольников» — находки 2019 г. В соответствии с принципами семиотического анализа подробно описываются композиции орнаментальных записей, выполненных на поверхностях изделий. Большое вним…
Results of Radiocarbon Dating of Early Burials in the Firsovo Archaeological Area, Barnaul Stretch of the Ob
An especially noteworthy part of the Firsovo archaeological area is a group of early burials at the fl at-grave cemeteries Novoaltaisk-Razvilka, Firsovo XI, and Firsovo XIV. Nine radiocarbon dates have been generated for those cemeteries at various laboratories: two by the liquid-scintillation (LSC) method and seven using the accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) method. The dates were calibrated using OxCal version 3.10 software. Dates for the Cha…
Cruciform Signs Decorating Paleolithic Bone Artifacts from Cherno-Ozerye II, the Middle Irtysh Area
This study describes decorated bone artifacts from the Final Paleolithic or Epipaleolithic site of Cherno-Ozerye II in the Middle Irtysh area—a fragment of a bone dagger hilt found during the 1971 excavations, and fragments of bone “needle cases” found in 2019. An interpretation of the meaning of cruciform signs on the artifacts is suggested with reference to technology and form. Parallels from Ural and Eastern European sites are discussed. It is…
Ornaments Made from Animal Teeth in Human Burials at Tuzovskiye Bugry-1 and Their Relevance to Ethnic Processes in the Altai, 3rd Millennium BC
The article describes ornaments made of animal teeth (elk, beaver, badger, fox, marmot, musk deer, and ibex or mountain sheep) and found in ground burials at Tuzovskiye Bugry-1, Northern Altai. Ornaments made of the teeth of the two latter animals are especially informative since these taxa are not found in the Barnaul–Biysk area of the Upper Ob basin, nor did they inhabit the area in the historical past. The musk deer is distributed in the mount…
Mollusk shells from burials of tuzovskiye bugry-1 As indicators of ethno-cultural processes In southern siberia and western central asia In the 3rd millennium bc
This article focuses on adornments made of mollusk shells from graves of the Tuzovskiye Bugry-1 burial ground in the Altai Territory. The collection includes bivalve shells: Corbicula ferghanensis Kurs. et Star. currently inhabiting the Amu Darya and Syr Darya basins; Corbicula tibetensis Prash. inhabiting the mountain regions of Central Asia, Eastern Kazakhstan, and the Amu Darya and Syr Darya basins; fossil Corbicula similar to Corbicula fl umi…
The “Malta Realism: On Interpreting Siberian Anthropomorphic Figurines From the Upper Paleolithic
This article revisits the meaning of Upper Paleolithic figurines from Malta. Anthropomorphic figurines show childlike proportions and lack mouths. Archaeological and ethnographic data suggest that the figurines in question represent children, and that the figurines of wingless birds relate to infants or rather, to their “souls
