Insights into Early Iron Age social structure in the eastern steppes : excavation results of the Chinge-Tey western chain kurgan 1
Early Iron Age
Tuva
Scythian
burial mouns
tumulus
Siberia
Eurasian steppe
While the Early Iron Age burial mounds of the highest elite in Tuva have been intensively studied in the past two decades, they represent only a small fraction of the diversity of archaeological monuments in the Siberian Valley of the Kings. In this article, we present the results of an examination of a smaller peripheral mound. The monument’s proximity to the elite mound of Chinge-Tey and its similar chronology allow us to expand the social cross-section through Early Iron Age society in southern Siberia. Four graves were excavated and documented in detail. Three out of four burials were found intact, providing rare, complete contexts and offering a glimpse into the cultural change and social hierarchies of the 1st millennium b.c. Not typical for the Aldy-Bel’ culture, this mound is built from earth, and the grave goods indicate changes in funerary ritual traditions across social strata.
