MORPHOLOGICAL DESCRIPTION OF HORSES FROM THE PAZYRYK BURIALS IN NORTH-WESTERN ALTAI

MORPHOLOGICAL DESCRIPTION OF HORSES FROM THE PAZYRYK BURIALS IN NORTH-WESTERN ALTAI

Abstract

Результаты морфологического изучения остеологических остатков лошадей из пазырыкских памятников Северо-Западного Алтая свидетельствуют о высокой однородности таких животных по высоте в холке, тонконогости, размерам и пропорциям костей. В изученных курганах могильников Ханкаринский дол, Инской дол и Чинета-II были захоронены только жеребцы. По выявленным морфологическим признакам эти кони оказались близки к лошадям, обнаруженным в других исследованных пазырыкских погребальных комплексах. Но они заметно отличаются от лошадей из памятников предшествующего аржано-майэмирского времени, исследованных в Саянских горах, а также из захоронений булан-кобинской культуры Алтая хуннуско-сяньбийско-жужанского периода. Отмечаются особенности изученных пазырыкских лошадей Северо-Западного Алтая, что проявляется в более высокой доле молодых животных и в отсутствии особей выше 144 см в холке. Зафиксированные морфологические показатели позволяют рассматривать общие и локальные характеристики изучаемых древних животных.

The results of morphological examination of horse remains from the Pazyryk burials the North-Western Altai indicate a high similarity of buried animals in the height at the withers, size and proportions of their bones. Only stallions were buried in the Khankarinsky Dol, Inskoy Dol and Chineta-II burial mounds. Horses from these mounds were morphologically similar to the horses from other Pazyryk burials. The distinctive features of the Pazyryk burials in North-Western Altai are the higher proportion of young horses in the burials and the absence of animals which are above 144 cm at the withers. However, Pazyryk horses from Khankarinsky Dol, Inskoy Dol and Chineta-II burial mounds differ significantly in the size and proportions of the bones from horses which belonged to the previous Arzhano-Mayemir period of the Sayan region and the Bulan-Koby culture of the Xiongnu-Xianbei-Rouran period of the Altai. The morphological differences illustrate local characteristics of animals in the past times.
