Chronological assemblages of Anisimovo 1 settlement: results of the rescue excavations in 2023

This article gives a general description of evidence from the multilayered Anisimovo 1 site, obtained from rescue excavations. Chronological assemblages of different periods - Neolithic / Early Bronze Age, Early-Advanced Middle Ages, Modern Age, and contemporary time - have been identified. The suggestion that since the 18th century, the area ofthe site was a part ofthe economic zone of the Russian village of Anisimovo located on the opposite bank of the Uskat River, which was made using cartographic and written sources, has been confirmed archaeologically. Thefinds ofthe Modern Age were not numerous. They were dated by a Siberian kopeika coin of 1779 and badge of horse harness with denticulate edge. The evidence from the Neolithic / Early Bronze Age was also small in number, and included stone artifacts - bifacial point and polished axe - typical of these periods. The assemblage of the Early and Advanced Middles Ages was the greatest in number of finds and variety. Chronostratigraphic and spatial analysis indicated connection of dwellings No. 1-3 with the Medieval complex. Functionality of the structures was associated with stoves which were placed inside and had covers. Structural features and items of the Middle Ages (pottery, firesteel pieces, tanged knife, blank of a stone spindle whorl) have made it possible to define it as a settlement and production complex. The pottery of the Middle Ages finds a wide range ofparallels in the Verkhneobskaya, Ryolka, and Lachinovo cultures, at the habitation and burial sites of the Chulym Kyrgyz and Kimak-Kypchakpopulation in the Tom region, Tomsk Ob region, and Chulym region. A preliminary dating has been established in a wide chronological range of 11th-14th centuries.
