COLLECTION OF BONE-MADE PRODUCTS FROM THE RODNIKOVOYE SETTLEMENT OF THE LATE BRONZE AGE IN ORENBURG STEPPES
Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of products made from bone found at the Rodnikovoye settlement of the Late Bronze age in the territory of the western Orenburg region. The considered settlement has shown a small amount of products from a bone, despite the big area of research. It could be connected with a specialization of economic activity of residents of the settlement. The place has a small but interesting collection of bone tools. Among all the products found the bone skates for snow and ice skating are of special attention. This category of things has long belonged to tanning production.
Key words
