Abstract
The article publishes and examines the archaeological collection of stone objects found during excavations at the Toropovo-7 archaeological site complex in the Kasma River valley in the Kuznetsk Prizalairye. The archaeological objects under investigation have been found in different excavations, which are dated to two chronological periods of the Late Bronze and Developed Middle Ages and correlate with the circle of antiquities of the Irmen and Shandin archaeological culture. The stone pestles and grain grinders found are indirect evidence of agriculture among the population who built this site. The grain grinders found are of the “saddleshaped” type, which were used before the advent of millstones. The studied collection of finds of primitive stone grain grinders and pestles allows us to raise the question of the emergence of agriculture during the Late Bronze Age and conclude that the population of the developed Middle Ages has agriculture in the valley of the middle reaches of the river Kasma.
