The post-rite osteological complex from the Bronze Age sett lement St reletskoye 1

Abstract

The ritual activities of the life sphere, in contrast with burial rites, have a non-rich presentation in
the archaeological source. Complex of osteological remains (11 left parts of sheep mandibles and one
right part of goat mandible), connected with rites of calendar cycle, was reseached in excavation of the Bronze Age settlement Streletskoye 1 in Troitsk district of Chelyabinsk region. This rite perhaps was associated with the line of binar opposites, which was disposed in the base of ancient world view.
