description | The publication deals with the description and interpretation of original copper and bronze objects, which were accidentally found in the vicinity of Prygovo, a village in Kurgan region. Despite being found in close proximity to numerous archeological sites, located nearby on a big island in the river Iset, the items had no archeological background, hence lacking unambiguous interpretation. They could be preliminarily interpreted as votive hoards. The groups discovered included a number of ornamentals, which can indicate that analogies should be looked for in the cultures of Sintashta-Petrovka-Alakul associations. However, the original massive wedge-shaped objects communicate the idea of Circumpontic trace in metalwork of the late Bronze, and so add to understanding of local product range. |
