Rescue archaeological excavations of Ust-Ivanovka burial ground in Amur region

Materials of the investigated part of the burial ground in the flood plain of the Zeya River made it possible to expand the image of the Troitskaya group of Mohe, who lived in this area of the Amur region. The discovered funeral rites of the inhabitants showed its similarity to mohe''s ceremony, set in accordance to other cemeteries: Troitskiy, Lipoviy Bugor, Krasniy Bugor. The investigated Ust-Ivanovka cemetery burial methods - primary and secondary, generally correspond to the canons of the funeral Mohe tribes. A feature of the burial ground, on the one hand, is the absence of safe vessels, well-spread in other cemeteries, in all 52 graves, and on the other hand, the presence of a large number of Central Asian type items. This factor may indicate the initial period of development of Sumo Mohe in the region in the VIII century AD, after the migration from the river districts of the second Songhua River to Manchuria.
