Abstract
The article is devoted to the introduction into scientific circulation and cultural and chronological interpretation of object No. 20 of the Karban-I necropolis. This complex, located in the Chemal district of the Altai Republic, was partially explored in 1989-1990 by expedition of the Barnaul State Pedagogical University (now Altai State Pedagogical University). During the excavations of mound No. 20, located in the western part of the necropolis, a burial of a young woman in a stone box was revealed. An analysis of the recorded signs of ritual practice allows us to attribute this object to the Biyke archaeological culture of the early Scythian period. The appearance of the accompanying inventory, which includes a few decorations, as well as a metal mirror, is also characteristic of the object complex of the nomads of the indicated period. Taking into account the recorded characteristics of the complex, as well as the results of radiocarbon dating, it seems possible to determine the period of construction of the published burial within the second half of the 8th — first half of the 6th centuries BC.
