ОРУДИЙНЫЙ КОМПЛЕКС АЛАКУЛЬСКОГО НАСЕЛЕНИЯ ПОСЕЛЕНИЯ ЗОЛОТОЕ-1 В ЛЕСОСТЕПНОМ ПРИТОБОЛЬЕ

Abstract

The article presents the results of a typological and experimental traceological study of the tool complex of the Alakul time of the Zolotоe-1 settlement, located in the Tobol-Ishim interfluve. About 40 items made of stone, clay, bone, and bronze have been analyzed. As a result, the range of products has been determined and the functional purpose of most of them has been established. The tool complex includes ceramic spindle whorls, hammers for forging, passive tiles for grinding and grinding, piercers, blunt axe, agalus, etc. The inventory set finds numerous analogies in Alakul and other Bronze Age and later Bronze Age sites. It is concluded that the Alakul population in the area of the village was engaged in the processing of leather, metal, stone, bone, the manufacture of dishes, spinning — the main industries characteristic of the pastoral tribes of the Late Bronze Age (the authors adhere to the Eastern European chronological scale). Thus, the conducted studies made it possible to supplement the characteristics of the livestock economy of the Alakul population with data on production activities and confirm the earlier conclusions about the absence of differences in the traditions of farming among the population living along the rivers and in the interfluve.
