РЕДКИЕ КАТЕГОРИИ ПРЕДМЕТНОГО КОМПЛЕКСА ИЗ ОБЪЕКТОВ ЖУЖАНСКОГО ВРЕМЕНИ НЕКРОПОЛЯ ЧОБУРАК-I (СЕВЕРНЫЙ АЛТАЙ)

Abstract

The article presents a characteristic of a series of items discovered during excavations of the Rouran period necropolis at the Choburak-I burial ground. This multitemporal site, located in Northern Altai, was studied by the expedition of Altai State University. As part of the numerous inventory of 12 undisturbed burials, the finds are distinguished that are rare for the subject complex of the population of the Bulan-Koby culture. These include an iron cauldron, a collection of items made of bone and horn (a comb, an arrowhead, a cosmetic brush, claps, fasteners for elements of horse equipment), as well as stone whorls. It has been established that these finds demonstrate the original characteristics of the material culture of the nomads of the Northern Altai in the Rouran period. Some finds at the same time testify to the influence of the traditions of the “Bulan-Kobins” on the formation of the appearance of some functional sets of the early Turks (the second half of the 5th-7th centuries AD).
