But none of the key archaeological sites most important for understanding the evolution of Yamnaya culture is published in western languages. These key sites include the fifth-millennium BC Khvalynsk cemetery in the middle Volga steppes. When the first part of the Eneolithic cemetery (Khvalynsk I) was discovered in 1977–1979, the graves displayed many material and ritual traits that were quickly recognized as similar and probably ancestral to Yamnaya customs, but without the Yamnaya kurgans. With the discovery of a second burial plot (Khvalynsk II) 120 m to the south in 1987–1988, Khvalynsk became the largest excavated Eneolithic cemetery in the Don-Volga-Ural steppes (201 recorded graves), dated about 4500–4300 BCE. It has the largest copper assemblage of the fifth millennium BC in the steppes (373 objects) and...

Two principal schemes of melting non-ferrous metals in antiquity were considered: with external and internal heating of the crucible, their features from the point of view of organizing the metalworking process. Special attention is paid to the difference in the archeology of the two options.
Статья посвящена обсуждению многолетнего опыта экспериментальных работ Самарской археометаллургической группы. Рассматриваются две принципиальные схемы плавки цветных металлов в древности: с внешним и внутренним нагревом тигля, их особенности с точки зрения организации процесса металлообработки. Отдельное внимание обращено на разницу в археологизации двух вариантов

The explicit examples of metrics and such integrals are constructed. Few superintegrable systems are found having both a polynomial and a rational integrals which are functionally independent of the Hamiltonian.

In the system of Eurasi an metallurgical province the key role in the production of copper, tin and gold belonged to mining and metallurgical regions and centres of the Urals, Altai, and Kazakhstan. A morphological and typological description regarding the inventory of the East zone of bead pottery culture community (over 800 items) made it possible to specify types of articles common for the whole territory of the Eurasian metallurgical province (EAMP), as well as the types specific for certain centres. Subject to specification being three basic formulae of alloys — tin bronzes, tin-arsenic bronzes, and «pure» copper, as well as the uniformity of technological methods in the metal working of the Asian zone within the EAMP. The local features in the development of metal industry in certain regions enabled us specifying three basic centres in the Asian zone of the bead pottery culture community, namely, two metallurgical centres — the Saryarkinsky and Altai ones, and one metal working centre — the Semirechye one.

experimental work on a catalogue of microstructures of bronze castings. The aim of the project — the creation of a series of standards of bronze castings (of different composition) in the «technological» conditions as close as possible to the ancient and comparison of technological methods of casting with microstructures, for sure their
interpretation and verification. The article describes the first results of experimental works 2012.

For the first time, a complete set of all the finds of cauldrons from large areas from East Kazakhstan to Moldova was created. The catalog contains graphic images and photographs of all cauldrons from the steppes of Northern Eurasia well -known to authors up to 2017. The special spectral, technological and typological analysis of artefacts were conducted. Places of finds probably connected with communications, roads which existed at Great Steppe during Late Bronze Age.
