Recent archaeological discoveries in the site Tartas-1

The article is devoted to the field results of the multi-chronological site Tartas-1 (Vengerovo district, Novosibirsk region). It includes burial grounds, ritual and settelment complexes from the Neolithic to the Late Medieval Time. In 2016 52 graves of different chronological periods (Neolithic, Early, Middle and Late Bronze Ages and Medieval Time) were excavated. The stratigraphic position of two burials was remarked (overlap of the Andronovo (Fedorovo) culture grave by the Odino culture grave). All studied the Andronovo (Fedorovo) burials confirmed the main features of burial rite which were marked before. It’s an inhumation body and cremated bones into the burial pit. Sometimes both burial practices were found in one grave. This year co-existence of two burial area organization types on the site was noted. One group was surrounded by circle or semi-circle moats. Other group was located in parallel rows. The investigation of sanctuary and the burial ground of Pakhomovo Culture possibly related to it was continued this year. The two types of funeral-burial constructions of this culture were studied.
