Horses in the Late Tagar Economy: Kosogol I Settlement Materials (Krasnoyarsk Region)
The archaeological studies developed two concepts concerning the character of Tagar economy: semi-nomadic and sedentary. They are based on different approaches to burial assemblage materials, accidental findings, and general opinion on stock-raising economy in Eurasian forest-steppes and steppes. Th...
