Description
Summary:The period of active research of burial mounds located in the territory of Krasnoyarsk forest-steppe zone falls on the end of the 19th – mid 20th centuries. During that time in the vicinity of Krasnoyarsk were recorded more than 150 barrows, at least 25 of which were excavated for scientific purposes. The results of the research allowed scientists to attribute these barrows to the Tagar culture – its northern border of the distribution. Later, for Krasnoyarsk forest-steppe, it was proposed to identify a local version of the Tagar culture with peculiar features inherent only in this region. At the beginning of the 20th century, Vladimir Kartsov made a map of the Krasnoyarsk region sites, which included famous burial mounds, and there was an attempt to calculate their number. Currently most of these barrows have been destroyed in the process of modern activity, and the extant ones continue to be subjected to anthropogenic impact. In this connection, despite the extinguished interest of researchers there is the need for barrows documenting, monitoring their status and conservation. This paper gives a brief description of the Krasnoyarsk forest-steppe barrows, provides a map of their distribution, some clarifications and new data about them. Активное изучение курганов, расположенных на территории Красноярской лесостепной зоны, приходится на конец XIX – середину XX в. За это время в окрестностях Красноярска было зафиксировано более 150 курганов, не менее 25 из которых было раскопано с научной целью. Результаты исследований позволили ученым отнести эти курганы к тагарской культуре – ее северной границе распространения. Позднее для Красноярской лесостепи было предложено выделить локальный вариант тагарской культуры, обладающий своеобразными чертами, присущими только этому региону. В начале XX в. В.Г. Карцовым была составлена карта памятников Красноярского района, куда вошли и известные курганы, а также была попытка подсчитать их количество. На сегодняшний день большинство этих курганов уничтожено хозяйственным ...
