| Summary: | Приведены результаты археологического исследования природных оазисов в Барабинской лесостепи. The Baraba forest-steppe occupies a large territory between the rivers Ob and Irtysh, stretches over 200 km from the taiga zone in the north to the steppes in the south. The northern part of the Baraba region is swampy and forested, in the south, to the contrary, it transforms into the steppe. In different parts of the forest-steppe living conditions of the indigenous people were different. These differences used to determine the specificity of human activities on such area. On the Baraba territory some kinds of oases were formed — the zones, which had the most comfortable conditions for human being. It is now possible to talk about four of these oases. Its territories are characterized by the large water bodies with developed floodplains, which is periodically flooded and turned into the meadows. Like the desert oases, these territories used to be extremely important for the indigenous people. They helped the populations to survive in drought years.
