Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of the reasons for the location of ancient necropolises along the Chui Tract in Northern Altai. The purpose of the publication is to characterize the territory of the Chultuk burial complex Log-1. This necropolis, located in the mountain valley of the lower Katun during the 20th and 21st centuries, repeatedly fell into the zone of road construction. However, in the previous rather long historical period, this necropolis was formed on a naturally isolated territory. The orography of the right bank of the lower Katun consisted of several sections of the river valley, separated from each other by rock clamps. Several necropolises were formed near these natural obstacles in the Early Iron Age. The distance between such burial complexes ranged from 25 to 30 km. Such a feature of the location of ancient necropolises could reflect certain ethno-territorial boundaries of the Paleometallic epoch.
