The paper reports on the results of reinterpretation of the Neolithic complexes of Hissar I–IV of the Ak-Tangi site, a field study of which was carried out in the middle of the 20th century. At the time of its discovery, only the Hissar Neolithic Culture had been studied in the mountainous part of Central Asia, which the Ak-Tangi materials were attributed to. At the new stage of the research, a comprehensive analysis of the archival materials and surviving collection, which comprises palaeofaunal materia and lithic and bone artefacts, was performed, and radiocarbon dating and ZooMS-analysis were employed on some of the bone artefacts.
