The final bronze age burial ground at the territory of Omsk

This article presents research results of burial ground in the historic center of Omsk. The site were discovered during the construction of the building in 1912, but it has never been studied by archaeologists since that time. This year we had the possibility to do this, in consequence of the build construction in this territory. We excavated four burials in total, which were within the boundaries of the building. All the burials present the rites of inhumation in the oval shallow pits. Three burials contained the skeletons, stretched on their back, headlong to the north or slightly to the east. The traces of secondary burial were fixed once. The accompanying equipment contained the ceramics and bronzes. The first group of items includes the felt apart ceramic vessels and a few fragments. Vessels was absent in three studied burials, but forth, which has the attributes of secondary burial, contained the small vessel under the level of pit filling. Other ceramics was collected in the adjacent area and can be correlate with burial ground contextually only. It can purpose according to morphological characteristics and specific ornamentation that vessels associate with Krasnoozersk culture of Bronze to Iron Age transition. Bronze collection includes two round eyeletting plates, knife with arch on the bracket, needle and two bell-shaped pendants. Listed items have the analogies among the Irmen sites of Late Bronze Age. This material permit to re-examine some processes of cultural transformation during the Bronze to Irone Age transition in the forest-steppe Irtysh region.
