In Tatarstan found a settlement of drunken-breathing culture and a treasure of bronze

In the Mendeleevsky district of Tatarstan, archaeologists have discovered an ancient settlement belonging to the drunkard culture, and a rich treasure of bronze artifacts. The new historical monument, named Tatar Sarsaz I, is located on the picturesque cape of the right bank of the Bizyakinka River. This fortified settlement, dating from the II - early III centuries AD, occupied an area of about a hectare and was protected by an impressive rampart and moat.

The main sensation was the discovery of a treasure consisting of elegant chest plates, original fasteners and decorative plaques that preserved traces of leather belts, as well as bright glass beads. In addition, fragments of ceramics, arrowheads and animal bones were found. All discovered materials will be transferred for state protection.

Pyanoborsk culture existed from the II century BC to the II-IV century AD in the Lower Kama region and along the Vyatka River. It was distinguished by extensive trade relations, including with the Mediterranean world. Traditionally, archaeologists associate this community with the ancestors of the Udmurts, and its influence can be traced in the formation of the culture of the Ryazan-ok burial grounds.
