“…This is still a tentative conclusion due to the deficit of 14 C values associated with the Late Bronze Age of Trans-Urals. The latest studies at the Shaitanskoe Ozero 2 sanctuary, situated 70 km north of Yekaterinburg and near the Shigir peatbog (Serikov et al 2009; Korochkova et al 2015), allowed us to place the Late Bronze Age complex at ~1900–1800 cal BC. The lacuna between early and late stages of the Bronze Age (see Figure 2, A) could be filled out when more dates become available.…”

Radiocarbon Chronology of the Mesolithic, Neolithic, Aeneolithic, and Bronze Age Sites in the Trans-Urals (Russia): A General Framework

The chronology of the Mesolithic, Neolithic, Aeneolithic, and Bronze Age sites in the Trans-Urals (Russia) was studied, and a framework for previously established cultural complexes is suggested based on 153 radiocarbon dates. In this new chronological model, the Mesolithic is dated to ~10,000–6500 cal BC; the Neolithic complexes exist at ~6500–3800 cal BC; the Aeneolithic is dated to ~4300–2800 cal BC; the Early Bronze Age spans ~2500–2100 cal BC; and the Late Bronze Age can be preliminary assigned to ~1600–1100 cal BC.

“…Chernykh and Kuz'minych underlined in 1989 that Samus`-Kizhirovo-and Sejma-Turbino-objects are not found in combination and they thought about a chronological difference. But newer assemblages from Šajtanskoe Ozero 2 underline at least a synchronous deposition of both object series (Serikov, et al, 2009) 7 .…”

Social Practice and the Exchange of Metals and Metallurgical Knowledge in 2nd Millennium Central Asia

The current article discusses the Bronze Age metal evidence in Central Asia based on a vast study of metals of Kazakh origin in order to better understand what Chernykh once called the West-Asian-Metallurgical Province (WAMP). Based on typological studies it became obvious that typologies do not sufficiently help to understand the distribution patterns of Bronze Age metals in regard to their social nor their economic background. The authors therefore propose an anthropological and theoretical approach that allows the exploration of the practice of exchange within steppe communities based on provenance studies of metals using elemental and Pb-isotope data. These data have been analysed within a research project carried out with Kazakhstan partners between 2004 and 2014. For the first time, a selection of data are presented that support some of the general interpretations of exchange modes between the Petrovka Early Bronze Age and the Late Bronze Age. Especially during the second millennium, it seems that the exchange pattern of metals had changed from single high valued items to a larger scale trade, which included metal transport as well. It is suggested that although the practice of exchange modes between the steppe communities change to larger scale metal exchange during the 2nd half of the 2nd millennium BC, most of the social background still remained similar in comparison to the earlier periods.

“…The key tasks for future comprehensive studies are to reconstruct the environment, to locate sources of stone, etc. Issues linked with assessing the topography of the ritual space and its underlying ideology are no less important, but highly complex challenges (Serikov 2007a(Serikov , 2007bSerikov et al, 2009). In the light of new discoveries, the Koptyaki culture acquires the status of a major center influenced by Seima-Turbino and Petrovka-Alakul traditions.…”

The present article describes materials from the ritual site of Shaitanskoye Ozero II, Sverdlovsk Oblast. Few excavations carried out at the site measuring less than 240 sq. m in size, yielded more than 160 bronze artifacts: utensils, weapons, rolled copper ornaments, and abundant smelting and casting waste. Apart from Seima-Turbino (celts and laminar knives) and Eurasian types (daggers with cast hilts, truncated knives with guards, fluted bracelets and rings), several metal artifacts were revealed manufactured in the style of the Samus-Kizhirovo tradition. Bronze artifacts, stone knives and scrapers, and numerous arrowheads are accompanied by ceramics of the Koptyaki type. Metals use mainly a copper-tin alloy. This assemblage is shown to be relevant to the local tradition of metalworking, which, in this particular region, was comparatively ancient having been left uninterrupted by the rapid migrations of the Seima-Turbino people. In addition, the assemblage indicates the sources from which post-Seima artifacts reached the Alakul people. These artifacts may also have been linked with a large metalworking center located in the Middle Urals. RESUMEN
