“…Хронологическое соотношение синташтинской и петровской традиций имеет отдельные стратиграфические свидетельства приоритета синташтинских памятников, но радиоуглеродная хронология, скорее, говорит об их частичной синхронизации (Krause et al, 2019;Епимахов и др., 2021). Это утверждение частично подтверждает анализ распределения керамики на укрепленном поселении Каменный Амбар, которое функционировало в течение короткого периода (Epimakhov et al, 2020), вместившего синташтинскую и петровскую фазы с возможным сосуществованием разнотипной керамики во второй.…”

Публикация посвящена результатам археологических исследований двух курганных насыпей в окрестностях деревни Залющик (Тихвинский р-н Ленинградской обл.) - насыпи № 1 в могильнике Залющик II и одиночной насыпи Заозерское III. Памятники были открыты в результате разведок автора в 1997-1998 гг., изучены в 1999 г. Курганная группа Залющик II была расположена в 0,3 км к северу от одноименной деревни и состояла из двух курганных насыпей. В результате спасательных раскопок кургана № 1 было выяснено, что он был сооружен на материковой подрезке высотой 0,4-0,9 м. В насыпи был обнаружен очаг, возле него керамический сосуд, накрытый сверху железной сковородой. Под курганной насыпью в двух материковых могильных ямах были обнаружены три погребения по обряду трупоположения. Первое (ребенка) находилось в отдельной яме и не содержало инвентаря. Два погребения взрослых располагались в одной могильной яме. При мужском погребении найдены железный топор, нож, в ногах - горшок. При женском - бронзовое кольцо и железный нож. Время совершения захоронений - XI в. Одиночная насыпь Заозерское III располагалась в 1 км к северу от могильника Залющик II. В результате раскопок было выяснено, что она была возведена на естественном всхолмлении высотой до 1,6 м. На вершине насыпи было открыто погребение по обряду кремации, при котором обнаружены два железных наконечника стрел, бронзовая ременная пряжка с железным язычком, железный предмет в виде двух стержней, соединенных кольцом, фрагмент ножа. Комплекс датирован второй половиной - концом X в. В разных частях насыпи были найдены три стеклянные бусины, бронзовые бубенчик и кольцо. Кроме того, на разных уровнях были обнаружены позднейшие детские захоронения в небольших колодах без сопроводительного инвентаря. This paper describes results of archaeological excavations of two kurgan mounds in the vicinity of the village of Zalyushchik (Tikhvin district, Leningrad region), namely, mound No.1 in the Zalyushchik II cemetery and the single Zaozerskoe III mound. These sites were discovered during archaeological survey conducted by the author in 1997-1998, and then were excavated in 1999. The Zalyushchik II kurgan group is located 0,3 km north of the eponymous village, it included two mounds. Rescue excavations of kurgan No. 1 found that it had been erected on a virgin soil ledge 0,4-0,9 m high. The mound yielded a hearth with a ceramic vessel covered with an iron pan located near the hearth. Three inhumation burials were discovered in two soil pits under the kurgan mound. The first burial (that of a child) was deposited in a separate pit and did not contain any grave goods. Two burials of adults were located in one burial pit. An iron axe, a knife and a pot were retrieved from the male burial, whereas a bronze ring and an iron knife were found in the female burial. The single Zaozerskoe III mound was located 1 km north of the Zalyushchik II cemetery. It was made on a hilly surface up to 1,6 m high. A cremated burial that contained two iron arrowheads, a bronze belt-buckle with an iron prong, etc. was found at the top of this hilly surface. This assemblage was dated to the second half - end of the 10th century. Three glass beads, a bronze jingle bell and a ring were found in various parts of the mound. Besides, children's burials in small treetrunk coffins with no offerings which were dated to later periods were found at different levels of the mound.

By means of the Bayesian analysis of radiocarbon dates, a comparison of chronologies of the Kamennyi Ambar settlement and the cemetery of Kamennyi Ambar-5 of the Late Bronze Age Syntashta-Petrovka period has been carried out. Both sites are situated in the valley of the Karagaily-Ayat River in Kartalinsky district of Chelyab-insk Region (Russia). Comparison of the pottery assemblages of the settlement and the cemetery demonstrates their similarity, which suggests existence of a genetic link between the sites. The purpose of this work is devel-opment of a generalized chronological model of the two monuments. This is achieved by comparison of uncali-brated intervals of radiocarbon dates and calculation of chronological boundaries of the existence of the settle-ment and cemetery by means of Bayesian modeling of the calibrated dates. The method consists in that, in the beginning, the stratigraphic position of each date is determined, and then the dates suitable for the analysis are arranged in the chronological order and calibrated, while the algorithm of the OxCal 4.4 calibration program is queried for calculation of the boundaries of the given periods and their duration. Also, the paper reports complete sets of the radiocarbon dates: 61 dates have been obtained from the materials of the settlement of Kamennyi Ambar, while 19 measurements originate from the Kamennyi Ambar-5 cemetery. Correlation of the radiocarbon dates and development of the Bayesian chronological models have demonstrated contemporaneousness of the settlement and the cemetery with slightly later beginning of the activity at the latter. This observation is in agree-ment with the concept of the genetic link between the sites and, arguably, can be extended onto other pairs of fortified settlement — kurgan cemetery attributed to the Sintashta-Petrovka period. Our conclusion is also consis-tent with the concept of building the complex of monuments by a newly-arrived population, who founded a settle-ment, occupied the new territory for some time, while the first deaths occurred some time afterwards. That said, the settlement of Kamennyi Ambar existed for no longer than a century in the 1950s — 1860s BC, while the cemetery of Kamennyi Ambar-5 was used for 70–80 years within the same chronological interval.
