The article examines musical sound as a worldview category connected with rituals, traditional beliefs, concepts, and life styles of the indigenous, numerically small peoples of Arctic Eurasia. The discussion is based primarily on materials from the author’s field research, begun on the Taimyr Peninsula in the 1980s. This study of the sound culture of Samodeic [Samoyedic] peoples incorporates works of ethnographers and art historians, as well as northern studies researchers from other disciplines.

The author reviews the many genres of Yakut (Sakha) folk music, arguing that its richness is illustrated through the vitality and adaptability of song [toyuk], epos [olonkho], prayer [algys], and improvisational circle dance chanting [okhuokhai]. Some traditionally multi-media and multi-vocal forms, such as shamanic dramas and full-length epic singing, have been rechanneled, with their creative spirit being inherited by the most varied manifestations of Yakut artistic culture—words, painting, and music.

The bear festival of the Kazym Khanty represents a multicomponent cultural and religious phenomenon, featuring key ritual and mythic symbols of the Khanty world, closely correlated to the richest level of Ob’-Ugrian musical depth. Relevant literature encompasses significant works by ethnographers, musicologists, and culturologists from the eighteenth through nineteenth centuries. Nevertheless, the style and genre aspects of analyzing ritual bear-honoring songs of the Kazym Khanty has been insufficiently studied. The article explores the genre and musical component of the bear festival as a unified traditional culture conceptual text. Classification of the ritual songs requires studying the rite’s dramaturgy, integrated structurally. The ritual bear complex and its actions can be structurally analyzed according to genre and by ethnic group. Theoretical interpretation and musical style typology can be derived using a hierarchy of Kazym Khanty bear songs. Aleatoric principles [from Latin, aleatorius or playful] pertain to songs within a genre group in a specific order, as in the preliminary moments of a shamanic séance, thus indicating the musical structure of the bear festival in each concrete situation. Homogeneity characterizes melodies that are sacral and profane. The entire rite forms a stylistic series: sequential (a horizontal axis, within phrases, genre groups and songs), and diachronic (a multi-temporal vertical axis). Intonation enables a unified environment that integrates song arrangement. The bear festival is therefore envisioned as a style and genre system.

This article, derived from a chapter in the book Musical Treasure-Trove of Uzbekistan, addresses the history, sources, theory, and practice of the Uzbek classical music called makom [maqâm]. The author argues that Uzbek classical music has an unbroken, complex, and philosophical legacy that has come down to us as a living tradition from numerous sources in the wider region of Central Asia. He illustrates his innovative interpretation with diverse music samples and elaborate analysis of makom terminology.

Scholars have many ways to push the boundaries of archeology and further the field. One is to establish an entire new line of cultural grouping or humanoid existence, something newsworthy and rare. Another, more common practice is to expand the known areal of a given established cultural tradition. Further possibilities include deepening time horizons, and creating new understandings of migrations of peoples. Uncovering class, gender, rural–urban, and nomadic–settled differences can become pathways toward new frameworks. Collaborative use of multiple technologies and disciplines to create new synergistic learning is yet another important way to advance archeologically based knowledge. These only begin to touch the surface of a field that is constantly expanding through attention to minute details. In the archeology of Russia, and more broadly, in Russian-influenced archeology throughout the whole Soviet and post-Soviet territory, attention to detail, collaborative mixes of multiple disciplines, and flexible understanding of changing migration or class patterns in Eurasia have long been established standards. They require communication across countries, access to museum collections, and complex technologies that are not always easily available. However, the superb record of diligent archeological research continues, and is represented by the première journal Rossiiskaia Arkheologiia. The articles in this issue, recently published in Rossiiskaia Arkheologiia, represent several ways to push the boundaries of archeologically dominant knowledge. The first, by Vladimir Iu. Koval,

The article examines female burial 1, discovered at the multiple-layered settlement of Mukhino 2 (Zadonskii raion of Lipetsk oblast) on the left bank of the Snova River not far from where it flows into the Don River. Anthropological research of the skeletal remains has shown that they belong to a woman twenty to twenty-nine years of age. Burial 1 from the Mukhino 2 settlement is accompanied by grave goods typical of burials of the “barbarian” nobility in the Hunnic period, indicating a high social rank of the buried woman. Her attire is analogous to cultural traditions of the sedentary population of the Late Antique centers of the northern Black Sea region. Based on the grave goods, the Mukhino entombment can be dated to the end of the D2 period through the beginning of the D2/D3 in the “barbarian” European chronology, approximately the years 430–50. Morphological characterization of the postcranial skeleton suggests her refinement. Comparison with previously examined Sarmatian and Alanic female samples from the “elite rafts” of the Klin-Iar complex helps to identify certain similar features. It has been established from isotopic and elemental analysis data that animal proteins did not predominate in the buried woman's dietary structure, while plants of the C4 photosynthesis type (millet?) comprised a considerable portion, indicating a sedentary lifestyle. This assumption finds additional corroboration in the results of paleobotanical research on regional finds. Skeletal remains reveal a complex of features pointing to a possible southern origin for the buried woman.

The article discusses a burial in a catacomb discovered in a barrow at the village of Losevo in Pavlovsk raion, Voronezh oblast. In terms of the rite and accompanying grave goods, it is practically identical to the T-shaped catacombs of the area along the lower reaches of the Don River from the fourth century CE. The burial could have been that of an Alan who had survived a pogrom by Huns and fled northward into remote areas of the forest-steppe along the Don.

The article features a rarely encountered type of incense burner of a cubic form from the burial sites of the Early Sarmatian culture. Only three instances of such incense burners in the burials of the second and first centuries BCE are known in the Volga—Don region. This type of incense burner becomes widely prevalent at a later time, starting with the mid-second century BCE, in burials of the Late Sarmatian culture. The context of the finds of early cubic incense burners allows us to assume that migrations of nomads into the region of the Volga—Don steppes in the Early and Late Sarmatian period originated from a close territory.
