О хронологии погребений на камнях из басандайского курганного могильника

Abstract

Abstract. The chronology of mounds in the Basandaika Burial Mound was studied by Z.Ya. Boyarshinova, A.P. Dulzon, partially by V.A. Mogilnikov and L.M. Pletneva. Z.Ya. Boyarshinova stratigraphically divided burials of the Basandaika Burial Mound into upper and lower horizons and identified three seated burials. She dated the burials of the lower horizon to the 10th–12th centuries and the upper horizon to the 13th–14th centuries. However, she did not justify the dating, except for attributing the burials to horizons. A.P. Dulzon divided all burials of this mound into underground and surface ones. He dated some of the underground burials “mainly to the 12th century, possibly the 11th century”, and some to the 13th–14th centuries. The surface burials were dated to the 13th–14th centuries or possibly later. L.M. Pletneva dated several burial mounds in the Tomsk Ob Region, including the Basandaika Bural Mound, to the 12th–14th centuries and identified a set of items dating back to the 13th–14th centuries. Based on this, she attributed some of the burials from the Basandaika Burial Mound to the 13th–14th centuries. The issue of the chronology of the Basandaisky kurgan burial ground remains unresolved till day. This topic was revisited due to the introduction and processing of a substantial body of sources in scientific research. This paper focuses only on graves on stones (nine in total). The purpose of the paper is to identify additional details to justify the dating of graves on stones and accurately date them.
