Chertaly burial ground: excavation of the 2014 and research results

The article gives an account of the preliminary results of studies of the Chertaly barrow-ground cemetery in Tara-Irtysh region. The necropolis contains the graves of three types, which can be correlated with various ethno-cultural groups. The earliest complex refers to the ust-ishim archaeological culture of the XI-XIV centuries. The burials of the second group can be dated back to the 15 th and 16 th centuries, and reflect the cultural influence of the Samoyedic. Finally, the most recent entombments belong to the XVII-XVIII centuries and may be correlated with the ancestors of the Tara Tatars. The study of the burial ground has provided valuable materials for the research of ethnogenesis and ethnic history of the Aboriginal population of the Omsk Irtysh region.
