Abstract

This paper is devoted to a rare type of archaeological finds, i. e. large buckles from Siberian jet with engraving and incrustation found at sites of the Xiongnu period over a broad territory from Manchuria to the Lower Volga region. The centre of their origin and distribution was probably in the north of Inner Asia which was the proveni- ence of the material itself for making the buckles — boghead coal or Siberian jet. Its main deposits are concentrated in the Irkutsk coalfields.
