CULT-OBJECTS FROM THE BURIAL COMPLEX OF THE UST-KOVA SITE (THE AREA OF THE BOGUCHANSKAYA HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER STATION WATER STORAGE RESERVOIR)

Abstract

Archeological sites of the Northern Angara (the area of the present Boguchanskaya Power Station water storage reservoir) of the Paleometal Epoch rather often contain the objects that appear to have had a cult meaning for the local inhabitants in ancient times. Among such objects, we can note a number of objects made of iron and bronze. The objects were found in the graves at the burial-site of Ust-Kova in this region.
