Исследование якутского Санга-Талонского могильника на Верхней Колыме

Abstract

The articles presents information on the study of the Sanga-Talon burial ground, performed by the Kolyma archaeological team from the North-East Interdisciplinary Research Institute of the USSR Academy of Sciences in the zone of flooding by the reservoir of the Kolyma hydroelectric power plant, in 1971-1972. The burial ground was found near the settlement of Sanga-Talon, on a 7-8 meter terrace, on the left of the mouth of the Obo Creek (right tributary of the Kolyma River). It is assumed that the Yakut burial ground indicates the exploration of this part of the Kolyma valley by the Yakuts in the 18th century. The data on the Yakut settling in the northeast direction along the Kolyma River and its tributaries are presented. The discovery of the Yakut burial ground near the settlement of Sanga-Talon is of certain scientific interest, since the Yakut exploration of this part of the Kolyma valley has not been sufficiently studied.
