Abstract: The paper presents the results of the chronological attribution of a complex of objects obtained during exploration work at the Kupchegen-1 settlement, located on the outskirts of the village of the same name in the Ongudai district of the Altai Republic. The settlement is located on a small site in a closed hollow, in the place of a seasonal watercourse. Due to this location, the cultural layer of the site is destroyed by a large gully, in which the locals collected lifting material in the form of fragments of ceramic vessels, iron products, animal bones and pieces of slag. In 2020, the ravine was cleaned up and additional material was obtained, allowing the dating of the main layer of the settlement. Based on the consideration of analogies of individual finds, in particular, an iron armor plate, a ceramic complex and a blank quiver loop, the materials of the settlement were tentatively dated to the 9th-13th centuries AD. It is possible that the materials received also contain a few items related to other periods. The studied complex can become a reference for the study of the settlements of the Turkic and pre-Mongol times of Altai. Keywords: settlement; Middle Ages; Turkic time; pre-Mongol time; ceramics; quiver; armor plate Acknowledgements: The research was carried out with the financial support of the Russian Science Foundation (project No. 20–78–00035).

An iron cauldron was found by residents of the village Verkh-Beloanuy of the Altai Republic in stone deposits near the foot of the mountain. The boiler has a straight body tapering towards the bottom and a rounded bottom. The vessel is made of several forged metal plates of various sizes and configurations, joined together with metal rivets. The boiler belongs to the suspended type, although its handle has not survived. Iron riveted cauldrons of various shapes and sizes were used in Altai from the ancient Turkic to the ethnographic time. Although they are quite a rare find. The cauldron from Verkh-Beloanuy dates back to the 17th-18th centuries.

The paper presents the results of the study of finds originating from the destroyed burial in the village of Baragash (the Shebalino district, the Altai Republic), located in the upper reaches of the Peschanaya river. The burial was destroyed in 2015 during the digging of a trench for the water supply, which passed approximately through the center of the burial mound. During the inspection of the mound, the employees of the Agency for Cultural and Historical Heritage of the Altai Republic collected details of horse equipment, jewelry, household items and weapons. The burial contained bone arrowheads, a bead, plaques made of gold foil, bronze clips, a painted ceramic vessel, a whetstone, and a horn cheekpiece. Fragmentary information about the structural features of the destroyed object, as well as the analysis of items allows us to establish that the complex belongs to the Pazyryk culture of the Scythian time of Altai. The horn cheekpiece found in the burial, decorated with the heads of a wolf and a bird of prey, as well as bronze clips, make it possible to establish the attributing of the object to an early group of Pazyryk sites. The absolute dating of the complex can be tentatively established by the end of the 6th – 5th centuries BC.

This article aims to evaluate the social duties of rural teachers, and is linked to an attempt to identify internal non-economic resources to help solve pressing issues associated with village life (including the problems of alienation of fellow villagers, the spread of alcoholism, unemployment, etc.). We set out to test the hypothesis that a rural teacher serves as an active participant in village life. This work is based on the methodological resources of village sociology, sociology of education, as well as approaches formed within the framework of problems associated with social well-being and quality of life. The results obtained from a study based on a semi-structured interview conducted in rural areas of the Altai Territory and the Altai Republic (N = 124) allowed for determining both the social functions of teachers and how they’re linked to the specifics of the profession. In addition the article analyzes the role of the village teacher in ensuring the resilience of the villagers. Resilience has been found to be associated with values and norms rooted in village areas (family, health, work, etc.), and often the village teacher is involved in preserving these values and norms. They provide support and assistance in solving a specific social problem (raising children, overcoming difficult life situations, socializing adults and children, etc.). The issue of active participation of teachers in the integration of the village community is also raised. We were able to identify which activities initiated by the village teacher are aimed at consolidating the villagers and their participation in the diverse life of their native village. All participants of the study stated that the integration of the village community is a necessity in this day and age. Such a function of teachers as interacting with authorities and public organizations was also identified. The example of the Altai Territory and the Altai Republic shows that village teachers as a professional group actively participate in solving the village’s problems, acquiring the status of a defender of the village.

В статье представлен анализ процессов трансформации жизненного уклада и обрядовых практик жителей территориально обособленного селения Язула Улаганского района Республики Алтай. Исследование строится на основе сопоставления экспедиционных материалов 2003 и 2019 гг. За этот период произошло выраженное увеличение открытости селения внешнему миру и доступности для его жителей общего информационного поля. По результатам исследования автор приходит к выводу, что такое «открытие» обособленного локального сообщества увеличивает культурное разнообразие, которое в свою очередь создает ситуацию необходимости самоопределения отдельного человека и семей в повседневной жизни и усложняет структуру социальной идентичности, при этом порождая проблему этнокультурного и религиозного самоопределения. Всё это усиливает переживание незащищенности себя и своего локального сообщества для внешнего мира. This article analyzes the transformation of the way of life and ritual practices of the residents of the geographically isolated village of Yazula in the Ulagan District of the Altai Republic. It is based on a comparison of expedition materials from 2003 and 2019. During this period there was a marked increase in the openness of the village to the outside world and in its residents’ access to sources of information. The article considers how this new openness of an isolated local community increased its cultural diversity in everyday life, which created a need for greater self-determination on the part of individuals and families at the behavioral level. This complicated the structure of social identity, including ethno-cultural and religious identity, and increased the individual villagers’ and the community’s sense of vulnerability in regard to the outside world.

One of the most important factors in the structure of the pile foundation in the construction of the bridge is the carrying capacity of the soil so as not to collapse. Construction of a bridge in the village of Klitik in Jombang Regency to be built due to heavy traffic volume. The foundation plan to be used is a pile foundation with a diameter of 50 cm, the problem is what is the value of carrying capacity of soil and material.
