Abstract
The paper presents the results of natural science studies of the base and colour inlay of four buckles of the Xiongnu period: three from the burial ground of Ala-Tey 1 (Tuva) and one from the cemetery of Kamenka V (Khakassia). Buckles with many-coloured incrustation and the best preserved inserts were selected for examination. The base of the buckles was made from fossilized coal, probably of the boghead type. Among the inlay materials of the buckles, cornelian, moganite, turquoise, fuchsite and nacre were identified.
