Olga Shishkina

Abstract


Tepseysky archaeological complex gives us some different information about people who lived in Minusinskaya Basin. Tashtyk culture is presented by the unique excavation materials (masks, ceramics, metallic and wooden things etc.). Petroglyphs of this period were made in Rock Tepsey and Tagar mounds (kurgans) Petroglyphs of this period were made by various techniques. Subjects of petroglyphs are varied (elks, deers, blls, anthropomorphic images etc. ). Analysis of these images discovers the new sides of world outlook of their creators and gives the whole picture about this culture.
