Participants of the expedition of the Institute of Archaeology of the Russian Academy of Sciences found more than four thousand items on the territory of the future Arkhyz airport in Karachay-Cherkessia. Most of them, including rare tools, belong, according to experts, to the Maykop culture. This was reported by the portal “This is the Caucasus”.
Work is carried out on an area of more than 30 hectares in the vicinity of the farm Frolovskiy. Archaeologists are exploring two settlements of Maykop culture, about 20 burial mounds of the Early and Middle Bronze Age, the Sarmatian ring shaft of the first centuries of our era and a medieval settlement.
Among the artifacts found are many ceramics and more than a dozen silicon tools, including an arrowhead, two scrapers, four knife-shaped plates. There are individual objects made of glass, bronze, iron.
One of the unique finds is a two-pointed horn hoe. This tool of labor testifies to the agricultural activity of carriers of Maykop culture on the territory of Karachay-Cherkessia in the early Bronze Age (IV thousand BC), noted in the republican historical, cultural and natural museum-reserve named after M. O. Baichorova, to whom these items were transferred.
