В статье вводятся в научный оборот ранее неизвестные наскальные изображения Тепсейского археологического микрорайона (Краснотуранский район Красноярского края), выявленные в последние годы кемеровскими археологами. Новые рисунки обнаружены в разных участках микрорайона, благодаря крупномасштабным разведкам и использованию современных методов документирования памятников наскального искусства. Выявленные изображения относятся к разным хронологическим периодам, выполнены в технике выбивки, гравировки и прошлифовки. Новые рисунки Тепсейского микрорайона дополняют представления об изобразительных традициях, существовавших в Минусинской котловине на протяжении нескольких тысяч лет. The article introduces into scientifi c circulation previously unknown rock images of the Tepsei archaeological area (the Krasnoturansk District of the Krasnoyarsk Region), which were revealed in recent years by Kemerovo archaeologists. New drawings were discovered in diff erent parts of the area due to large - scale explorations and the use of modern methods of documenting rock art sites. The identifi ed images belong to diff erent chronological periods, and are made in the technique of embossing, engraving and grinding. The new drawings of the Tepsei area enlarge the ideas about the pictorial traditions that have existed in the Minusinsk Basin for several thousand years.

This paper addresses the main problems in assessing the stratigraphy of superimpositions in rock art. When a petroglyph is overlain by one or several others, this may provide important information not only about single images but also about entire stylistic traditions. Existing methods used for evaluating the relative chronology of the parts of petroglyphic palimpsests are discussed, and a new approach is proposed, combining high-resolution three-dimensional visualization at the macro-level with traceological analysis. We focus on the characteristics of the pecked surface in the area outside the palimpsest and that in the overlap zone. The comparison of these parts makes it possible to reveal the traceologically informative features in the palimpsest areas, indicating the sequence of superimposed petroglyphs. This approach is instantiated by the analysis of one of the palimpsests in the Shalabolino rock gallery, the Krasnoyarsk Territory. Images representing various stylistic traditions are found in complicated stratigraphic relations. The sequence of three main fi gures (bear, bull, and elk) in this multilayered composition has been reconstructed. The results of the analysis cannot be used as an argument for attributing these petroglyphs to vastly different chronological periods. Rather, they provide new information relevant to the debate around the age of the Angara and Minusinsk petroglyphic styles in the Minusinsk Basin.

The paper features rock art images of Kremennaya mountain, which is situated in the North-West part of Tepsey archeological microdistrict. The images were discovered by Kemerovo archeologists in 2015. The opening of the petroglyph site replenished the collection of graphic sources of one of the largest rock art sites of the Minusinsk Basin. It also revealed a completely new graphic tradition of the late Bronze Age. In total, four surfaces covered with rock carvings were found, i.e. 52 distinct figures. They are presumably related to the Karasuk and Tagar cultures. According to the stylistic characteristics of Bronze Age, at least two art traditions were distinguished in the context of Karasuk culture: "Wire" figures and "full-weight" silhouette characters). Similar images were found in other site of the Tepsey mountains. Excavations performed in the 1960s revealed that Tepsey archaeological microdistrict has both burial and settlement sites of two chronological stages of the Karasuk culture (XIII to XI centuries, BC). The images of Kremennaya mount provide a more detailed understanding of Tepsey, which is one of the largest rock art sites of Minusinsk basin.

A lot of new rock art images of Tashtyk epoch have been discovered on the Yenisei recently, engravings being the most informative of them. The paper presents some new materials that may deepen the understanding of the Tashtyk culture. Some of the examples some are unique. The most interesting engravings are the anthropomorphic images of Tashtyk warriors (hunters?) found all over mount Tepsei. The petroglyphs make it possible to reconstruct the appearance of the people who inhabited the Minusinsk basin for they depict headware, hairstyle, and various elements of clothes. The images have direct analogies with the figures of warriors on the wooden plaques discovered in one of the Tashtyk burials on Tepsey, which allowed scientists to identify the ethnicity of some of the depicted characters. The Tepsey pictorial materials, including rock images, add to the understanding of the Tashtyk people’s appearance: in those unique images we can clearly see them wearing short trousers as well as some new kinds of headwear, which may be the evidence of the previous Tesin tradition and, probably, the Hunnu influence.

AbstractBy combining ethnographic and evolutionary psychological approaches, this paper compares adaptive strategies of two groups of hunter-gatherers colonizing marginal environments, one in Southern Siberia (Minusinsk Basin) and the other in North America (Great Basin and Colorado Plateau). The biological and cultural survival of Southern Siberian (Evenki) and Basin-Plateau (Numic) hunter-gatherers depended upon developing a complex of social and symbolic strategies, including ritual, oral narratives and rock art. These symbolic representations, which emerged in response to reproductive and somatic demands, appear to have been preserved and transmitted inter-generationally, and to have recurred cross-culturally above chance.

Публикация вводит в научный оборот наскальные изображения на горе Большой Сибигур. Памятник расположен в северной части Минусинской котловины, на левом берегу Енисея (Красноярского водохранилища). Впервые изображения были зафиксированы Н.В.Леонтьевым и Н.А.Боковенко в 1980-е годы, однако опубликованы не были. Повторное обследование этого местонахождения с целью полного документирования изображений было предпринято только в 2016 г. автором публикации. В статье представлены фотографии и копии всех рисунков обсуждается проблема датировки публикуемых изображений в научный оборот вводятся новые материалы по наскальному искусству Минусинской котловины. The paper presents the rock art site on the mountain of Bolshoy (Big) Sibigur which located in the northern part of the Minusinsk Basin on the left bank of the Yenisei River (Krasnoyarsk reservoir). The images were first recorded by N.V.Leontiev and N.A.Bokovenko in the 1980s but have not been published. A new survey of this location and its complete documentation was undertaken in 2016 by the author. The photos and tracings of all the imagery are published the problem of its dating is discussed and new materials on the rock art of the Minusinsk Basin are introduced for the scholarly use

In 1972, a brief article titled “Khandud, Village de la Vallée du Wakhan” appeared in Afghanistan 25. The subsequent decades of conflict precluded any follow-up research in Wakhan. The current article, based on field work from 2004 to 2016, examines the present condition of the sites described in 1972, offers a revised analysis of their significance, and introduces newly discovered rock art that connects Wakhan with the Saka culture of Central Asia and illustrates indigenous traditions of the Pamir-Hindukush ethnolinguistic region.
