OREANDA-NEWS An unusual artifact has been found on the banks of the Irtysh River near Omsk. It is part of a clay mold with clearly visible patterns. Such """ little thing" made of sand turned out to be a 3,000-year-old treasure from antiquity, according to the page of the Antropogenez portal on VKontakte.
The scientists told Anastasia Blum, who came across the product near the river, more information about its origin. It is known that this is a fragment of pottery from the Early Iron Age. It shows a unique pattern in the form of transverse and longitudinal waves. He may recall the Kulai community, people who lived many centuries ago in Western Siberia.
According to Omsk archaeologist Irina Tolpeko, the fragment used to be part of a zone under the crown of some kind of clay product. """"It's blurred, but the horizontal wave, or "snake", and the "ducks" are clearly distinguishable,"" the specialist pointed out.
""It is known that the ancient people inhabited the regions of Western Siberia from the 1st millennium BC to the middle of the 1st millennium AD. Their ceramics are represented by thin—walled bowls and pots with recognizable ornaments - "duck" and "snake". All of this had a symbolic meaning, most often describing something related to water. Including waterfowl.
Earlier, a set of millstones was examined in the Tung region of Tuva — such a find in southern Siberia changes the idea of Scythian life. Also, during the excavations, a "face" was found there — a stone stele. It is supposed to have been used by nomadic peoples during funeral rites.
