Abstract

This paper presents Karaoba, a 4th-2nd centuries BCE Sarmatian burial complex in the Kostanay Region of northwestern Kazakhstan, which exists on the very eastern margins of Sarmatian cultural influence. The undercut burial style is common in the southern Urals and western Kazakhstan, but rare in this region; Karaoba is one of the few examples of its presence this far east. Preliminary findings from the burial within Kurgan № 3 suggest that the individual was a male member of tribal nobility as interpreted through associated ceramic styles, gold objects, and a semi-complete horse skeleton. In all, Karaoba represents one of the most eastern expansions of Sarmatian cultural influence which offers new insights into their geographic range and subsequent cultural expansions.

最近在哈萨克斯坦Kostanay地区Karaoba的萨尔马提亚(铁器时代)库尔干遗址的初步考古发现

本文介绍了位于哈萨克斯坦西北部Kostanay地区的公元前4 -2世纪的萨尔马提亚墓葬群Karaoba，它存在于萨尔马提亚文化影响的最东部边缘。下切埋方式在乌拉尔南部和哈萨克斯坦西部较为常见，但在本地区较为少见;卡拉欧巴是少数几个在远东地区出现的例子之一。库尔干三号墓葬的初步发现表明，这个人是部落贵族的男性成员，通过相关的陶瓷风格、金器和半完整的马骨架来解释。总之，卡拉欧巴代表了萨尔马提亚文化影响最东的扩张之一，这为他们的地理范围和随后的文化扩张提供了新的见解。

期刊介绍： Archaeological Research in Asia presents high quality scholarly research conducted in between the Bosporus and the Pacific on a broad range of archaeological subjects of importance to audiences across Asia and around the world. The journal covers the traditional components of archaeology: placing events and patterns in time and space; analysis of past lifeways; and explanations for cultural processes and change. To this end, the publication will highlight theoretical and methodological advances in studying the past, present new data, and detail patterns that reshape our understanding of it. Archaeological Research in Asia publishes work on the full temporal range of archaeological inquiry from the earliest human presence in Asia with a special emphasis on time periods under-represented in other venues. Journal contributions are of three kinds: articles, case reports and short communications. Full length articles should present synthetic treatments, novel analyses, or theoretical approaches to unresolved issues. Case reports present basic data on subjects that are of broad interest because they represent key sites, sequences, and subjects that figure prominently, or should figure prominently, in how scholars both inside and outside Asia understand the archaeology of cultural and biological change through time. Short communications present new findings (e.g., radiocarbon dates) that are important to the extent that they reaffirm or change the way scholars in Asia and around the world think about Asian cultural or biological history.
