Реферат: | eng: The burial near Lake Atlasovskoye, Yakutia, is one of the earliest Yakut burials, dating back to the 14th or 15th centuries AD and associated with the medieval Kulun-Atakh culture. Initially, its age was assessed by the comparative typological method based on artifacts; and later radiocarbon dates were generated, suggesting that the burial can be attributed to the early stage of the Kulun-Atakh culture. Its highly unusual feature is that the individual was buried in a seated position, an exceptional case in Yakut funerary practice. The cranium was completely wrapped in a bandage sewn from birchbark sheets, under which lethal injuries were found. Our comprehensive study was aimed at assessing the individual's lifestyle and cause of death. Postcranial bones revealed pathological symptoms unusual for an early age (20-25 years) and caused by excessive physical strain, suggesting that the man was either a slave or a warrior. The complex birchbark bandage may indicate high status. Together with the seated position of the body, this makes the military status even more likely. Multiple traumatic lesions inflicted with a cutting weapon indicate the violent nature of conflicts at the early stage of the Yakut culture. Craniometric analysis reveals Buryat and Mongol affinities, supporting evidence from epic literature relating to Yakut origins, in which Buryat or Mongol immigrants had taken part. © 2016 Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. © 2016 Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. © 2016 A.N.
