The article describes the unpublished archives collected by M. K. Kadyrbaev from his field work in Central Kazakhstan in 1955–1979. It provides information on eight stone statues and structures. The authors attributed and dated them in line with the contemporary rules of archeology. One of the statues appeared to belong to the Saka period of the Tasmola culture. Another monument had no obvious analogies but, possibly, was part of a Qipcaq sanctuary. The authors also touched upon some challenging or debatable issues raised by M. K. Kadyrbaev and other expedition members, e.g., the validity of correlating statues without sings of sex with images of women; the secret Polovtsian sanctuary, which have to be studied in the context of similar Qipcaq sites, etc.

Abstract A large stone statue was brought from the Amazon to France in 1848 by the explorer Francis de Castelnau. It depicts a being, apparently human, squatting, with his hands on his chest. Now exhibited at the Musée du Quai Branly – Jacques Chirac, this piece created a strong controversy since it was made public. In the mid-19th century, several Brazilian intellectuals strongly criticized the arrogant attitude of the Frenchman who had ‘looted’ their heritage. In reality, the reasons for this conflict are much deeper since they affect the very identity of the nation, then in formation. In any case, even a play was written to mock the explorer. This gave rise to doubts about the authenticity of the object, which has persisted to this day. The authors therefore studied the artifact to determine its cultural origin, while analyzing existing references to compare it with other pieces from the Amazon. They were thus able to validate the statue’s Amerindian identity, nearly 170 years after its discovery.

The results of excavations of barrow with “mustaches” at Atasu river (Central Kazakhstan, Karaganda region) are presented in the paper. Barrows with "mustaches" are a little-studied type of ancient monuments. Monuments of this type were dated back to the periods of the Saks, Huns, Türks. More precise definition of their cultural and chronological affiliation is regarded as difficult but important aim. The barrow with "mustaches" Atasu-2 consists of one rounded stone mound and two stone ridges oriented to the east. In 1977, near the mound was found a stone sculpture of the Saka type. Since 2015, investigation at Atasu area were conducted under the leadership of A.Z. Beisenov. Two pits were discovered under the embankment where the iron arrowheads and items of horse harness were found. Details of horse harness are represented by the different tips of the belts plaques, the head piece and the lining of the forward parts of the saddle flanges. The details of the set are made of an alloy of gold and silver in a polychrome style which has analogies in the archaeological sites of the Hunnish time in Eastern Europe. By analogies the complex is dated by the authors of the middle / second half of the 5th century, and is synchronized with the antiquities of the horizon D2 / D3 of the central European chronology of J. Teiral. The presented materials replenish in science a few information on the Hunnish time of Central Kazakhstan.

The paper introduces into scientific use the materials of the research done on the unique funerary monument of the Early Iron Age – the mound number 6 with a statue of the cemetery Aybas Darasy 3. With the radiocarbon method the burial – one crouched skeleton without any inventory – was dated within the first quarter of the 8th – the last third of the 5th centuries BC. The authors characterize the signs of similarity of Aybas Darasy statue with early Scythian ones; identify correspondence of the depicted object to the real attribute (dagger) in the iconography of the Early Iron Age statues from Saryarka. The assumption about the connection between the burial with the statues is validated (the repeated finding of statues in the context of the Early Iron Age mounds, common direction of the statue’s front face and the buried person’s head, etc.). Comparison of the published site was made with similar sites of the 5th century BC from the South Ural steppes, statues of Saryarka and steppes of the Southern Ural. It is concluded that the appearance of Saryarka statues, like the South Ural ones, was associated with the "Scythian" cultural influence.

In our study we tried to understand and indicate the traditions that are applied during the funeral and burial ceremonies and the reasons underlying them in Pre-Islam Turkish culture history. The Turks believed in eternity of soul from the most archaic periods. There was the belief that the dead people would start a second life and there lead a life similar to the life here. As a result of this faith, the dead people were buried with valuable or necessary materials that are needed in daily life. First, the bodies of the dead people were kept in their own tents; the first rituals were performed around the tents and also the cairns where they were buried compared with the tents. The Turks became very sorry for the death of their beloved people and performed some applications such as shaving the hair, injuring their faces with a knife, and weeping loudly as an indication of mourning and lament. During the funeral and burial ceremonies riding horses and running around the funeral tent or the cemetery contained some cosmic meanings. The Turks thought that the life was impossible without a horse in their second lives. The Turks travelling to the heaven passed beyond the other dead people and reached the heaven more easily thanks to the horses sacrificed for themselves. The idea of alleviating the souls of dying people and benefiting from the moral powers of mighty persons is one of the reasons in applying killed vaccine tradition. The Turks as a warrior nation believed that the enemies they killed in their lives would serve them in the other world. Due to this belief, balbals (stone statues) representing the enemies killed by them were erected around the cemeteries of dying people.

A escultura representa um personagem, aparentemente humano, agachado com as mãos no peito. Agora exposta no Musée du Quai Branly – Jacques Chirac, esta peça gerou uma forte controvérsia desde quando foi tornada pública. Em meados do século XIX, vários intelectuais brasileiros criticaram fortemente a atitude arrogante do francês que havia ‘saqueado’ seu patrimônio. Na realidade, as razões deste conflito eram bem mais profundas, uma vez que afetavam a própria identidade da nação, então em formação. De qualquer forma, uma peça de teatro foi escrita para zombar o explorador. Isto deu origem a dúvidas sobre a autenticidade do objeto, que persistem até hoje. Por isso, os autores apresentam aqui um estudo do artefato para determinar sua origem cultural, analisando as referências existentes para compará-lo com outras peças da Amazônia. Assim, os autores conseguiram validar a identidade ameríndia da estátua, quase 170 anos após sua descoberta.

Throughout time, plants have been central to human life; plants have provided humans with food, wood, fuel, cosmetics, medicine, and humans have attributed symbolism to plants, including fertility, power, and purity. The Istanbul Archaeology Museum houses many stone statues and sarcophaguses featuring a variety of figures. Among other things, these figures depict fighting, richness, fertility, peace, gods, and plants. Plants are represented as whole trees, cones, leaves, fruits and flowers. These figures help us to understand both the cultural history of these plants and ancient human relationships with plants. The purpose of this study is to identify the genera and species of the plant figures on the stone statues, reliefs and sarcophaguses from the Hellenistic and Roman periods in the Istanbul Archaeology Museum and to discuss their historical importance. To this end, a list was created to record the inventory number, original location where the remains were found, and the age and historical time period of 47 Roman and Hellenistic statues and sarcophaguses. A total of 24 different types of plants were identified: acanthus leaves, apple, apricot, bay laurel, common grape wine, common fig, a whole eastern plane tree, eggplants, a globe of artichoke, oak leaves and fruits, olive, opium poppy, pear, a cone of umbrella pine, pine leaves and cones, pomegranate, quince, walnut, wheat, strawberry fruit, and date palm leaves, fruit, and stems.
