Abstract
For many years, the Department of Archaeology, Ethnography and Museology of the Altai State University has been regularly receiving information about archaeological finds discovered in different circumstances in the Altai Territory, as well as in neighboring and remote regions. Such information is checked and followed by investigation. The results of constructive interaction have been reflected in publications, such as presented in a scientific periodical “Preservation and Study of the Cultural Heritage of Altai”. This article provides brief information about an archaeological site in critical condition due to the constant bank caving by the Isha River near the village of Kurlek in the Krasnogorsky District of the Altai Territory. In the summer of 2017, when fishing, a local resident collected fragments of ceramics and stones that fell from the cultural layer to the scree and river hirst. The collection reflects several cultural and chronological layers and requires special studying. It is important to identify a settlement of the Early Iron Age, which reflects one of historical stages in developing the northern Altai foothills by different social groups. Keywords: Altai Territory, Krasnogorsky District, Kurlek, Isha, archaeological site, early Iron Age, ceramics
