Description
Summary:The article concerns a large fragment of the metal mirror found in the spring of 2014 on the bank of the lake Chemodan at the village Shagir of the Baraba Area of Novosibirsk region (Russia). By means of a X-ray fluorescent spectrometer a copper and lead-tin alloy of the subject is established. Search of analogies wasn’t successful. Authors didn’t manage to record a similar copy yet. Only on several signs the artifact is previously correlated to the existence period of Tan dynasty in China. Long time from the territory of the Baraba forest-steppe only single finds of metal mirrors or their fragments which it is possible to call Chinese were known. However a series of such artifacts is already found lately. Their detailed studying, and also mapping will allow to receive essential information of the cultural and historical plan. In particular, it is possible to establish localization of a southern taiga edge which in the territory of Baraba was repeatedly displaced. Synthesis of data on the metal mirrors of the Middle Ages found in the territory of Western Siberia will become the perspective direction of further researches. In this plan it is important to carry out the complex analysis of all finds according to the uniform program. Статья посвящена рассмотрению крупного фрагмента металлического зеркала, обнаруженного весной2014 г. на берегу оз. Чемодан, у с. Шагир Барабинского района Новосибирской области (Россия). С помощью рентгенофлюоресцентного спектрометра установлен медно-свинцово-оловянный сплав, из которого был изготовлен предмет. Поиск аналогий не увенчался успехом. Зафиксировать подобный экземпляр авторам пока не удалось. Лишь по нескольким признакам изделие предварительно соотнесено с периодом существования в Китае династии Тан. Долгое время с территории Барабинской лесостепи были известны только единичные находки металлических зеркал или их обломков, которые можно назвать китайскими. Однако за последнее время уже обнаружена серия таких артефактов. Их детальное изучение, а также картирование позволит ...
