Journal Title: Поволжская Археология - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 17

Abstract

The article focuses on the chronological attribution of male graves from the late Mazunino stage of the Tarasovo burial ground and is a sequel to an earlier article about dating of the early Nyrgynda stage (1st – 2nd centuries) of the same site. The three main methods employed in this research include those of formal typology, cultural stratigraphy and the nearest neighbor method. Eighty-six male graves of the third-fifth centuries were analyzed, with 12 identified as a result: first half of the 3rd c. AD (group 1), second half of the 3rd c. AD (2); 3rd c. (3); first half of the 4th c. (group 4); second half of the 3rd – 4th c. (5); third quarter of the 4th c. (6); fourth quarter of the 4th c. (group 7); second half of the 4th c. (8); second half of the 4th – 5th c. (9); 4th – 5th cc. (10); second half of the 3rd – 5th cc. (11) and 3rd – 5th cc. (12). This article minutes investigates the first six groups, while the rest will be covered in the next publication. Artifacts form the third – fifth century female graves of the Tarasovo burial ground will be studied separately.
