These sickles were found as part of ritual hoards, among finds in settlements, and had accidental origins. They can be categorized into two main types based on their characteristics: full size and reduced. The chronology of bronze sickles in the Tien Shan region generally fits into the 8th to 4th centuries BC. Their formation was based on similar-looking tools of the Final Bronze Age, from which they differed in their smaller size and curved blades. Apparently, bronze sickles of the Saka period were a link in the evolutionary line of development of sickles in the Tien Shan region between the Bronze Age and the Wusun period — the early Middle Ages. Bronze sickles of the Saka period were generally used for harvesting grain crops and for making hay. Moreover, sickles of the Saka period could have had a sacred meaning since they were found in a few ritual hoards, but at the same time, they were never found in burials. In these ritual hoards, sickles could symbolize offerings from the common members of Saka society.

An important role in understanding of this problem is played by the Touyun burial ground, located in the southwestern part of Xinjiang, close to Kyrgyzstan.
This burial ground has specific funeral rites, which demonstrate the characteristic features peculiar to the Saka culture of Alai. In particular, these are burials in stone boxes, crypt-like stone structures, and at the level of the ancient surface, constructed under low stone-earth burial mounds. Burials in them were both single and multi-act. The buried people in these burials were in an elongated position with the orientation of the sculls to the west and northwest direction. The funeral inventory from Touyun was relatively poor and represented by a couple of ceramic vessels, jewelry items (earring, bracelet, and beads), a belt garment (belt buckle), household items (sumac, awls), and clothing items (plaques). Results and discussion. These funeral objects, based on analogies, allowed us to establish the time of existence of the Touyun burial ground, which fits into the chronological framework of the end of the 5th - 3rd centuries BC. It is evident, that this necropolis appears as a result of the migration of the Saka population from the eastern part of the Alai Valley. The occupying this territory group of Alai Saka appeared in the contact zone with the population of the Saka culture of Tien Shan region, with which, apparently, they established marital ties. Currently, the Touyun burial ground is the easternmost site of the Saka culture of Alai, which makes it possible to expand the border of this culture by more than 130 km to the east than previously thought. It also made it possible to significantly clarify the real areas of the main archaeological cultures in the southwestern part of Xinjiang such as the Saka cultures of Alai, Pamir, and Tien Shan region.

Based on the latest archaeological data, it can be stated that settled agriculture played a significant role in the economy of this region in the Saka period. At the same time, semi-nomadic pastoralism continued to be the dominant type of economic activity. Taking this into account, the type of economic and cultural activity of the Saka of the Tien Shan region can be characterized as complex.

They occupied a major part of the region, apart from its southern area, where sedentary farming cultures were developing. Each of these pastoralist cultures had its own distinctive features and internal development dynamics, which might vary considerably from one culture to another. This allows to identify a number of large ethnocultural communities based on archaeological materials related to pastoralist cultures.

The article publishes a very rare for Saka culture of the Tien Shan region belt plaque, made with the Scythian-Siberian animal motif. It was accidentally found at an altitude of 2300 m. in the northern part of the Inner Tien Shan, and, most likely, it was lost there in antique time. The plaque has a butterfly-shaped shape, and a relief paired heads of a snow leopard was depicted on its outer surface in a realistic manner. On its reverse side there are two small loops indicating the construction of the combat belt on which it was fixed. Apart from the main belt there were additional leather straps which also were used as laces in the front. Belts of a similar construction with plaques of similar shape were previously found only in an elite burial of the Issyk kurgan in Tien Shan region. Nevertheless, outside this region, this belt plaque has close analogies in the synchronous cultures of the Scythian type in the Forest-steppe Altay, Tuva, Ordos and Northern China, as well as in the forest-steppe part of the Urals region. Based on stylistics and analogies, this belt plaque can be dated back to the turn of the 5th and 4th centuries BC. But in these regions, with the exception of the Urals, all similar plaques have one central loop on the back side. This indicates an independent line of development of these belt garment items on the territory of Saka culture of the Tien Shan region, although the origins of this line, undoubtedly, were initially outside its distribution area.
Key words: Early Iron Age, ancient nomads, Tien Shan region, garment belts, Scythian-Siberian animal style, belt plaque.

It had close ethnical and cultural associations with the contemporary population of Eastern Kazakhstan. They left specific Bukon Culture-type monuments. Besides, the Tian-Shan Sakas made a significant contribution to Kamenskaya Culture in forest-steppe Altai (Ob'-Irtysh Interfluve). They maintained regular connections. However, in the 4th century BC the Pazyryk political union from the mountain Altai became stronger and started sustainably expanding to the south - eastern Kazakhstan, northern Xinjiang, and the Mongolian Altai Mountains. This leads to a broken connection between the Sakas of the Tian-Shan region and their kin from the forest-steppe Altai. It results in the lost control over Bukon Cultue type tribes in Eastern Kazakhstan. It causes reduced influence in adjacent areas of Xinjiang. Pazyryk and Kara-Koba Culture people were migrating in Eastern Kazakhstan at the turn of the 4th-3th centuries BC. This migration causes a hybrid Kula-Zhurga Culture. Bearers of this culture were a part of the Pazyryk political union. Obviously, these processes were accompanied by large military conflicts between the Tian-Shan Sakas and the population of the Pazyryk culture. It resulted in the Sakas losing control over a number of territories in the North-East of their union - North-East Semirech'e. This territory is evident with family burials with Pazyryk (Songshugoukou) and Kula-Zhurga (Tausamaly) appearance. This directly proves the migration and relatively long stay of newly arrived northern populations. Long-standing rivals against the Pazyryk political union, regular and large conflicts with Hellenistic states weaken the political union of the Tian-Shan Sakas. Therefore, in around 165 BC they were defeated by Yuezhi that had come from the East. The majority of the Sakas were pushed to the southern Central Asia. This nation took part in the so-called ‘nomad invasion’ of Greco-Bactria.

It consisted of three pairs of items: daggers, sickles and mirrors that were not accidental. There was a stylized relief image in the Scythian-Siberian animal style on the one of the two mirrors. This mirror is the first known find of such type from the territory of the Saka culture of the Tien Shan region. The other items from the hoard have analogies in the materials of previously known burial grounds and hoards of the Saka period in this region. This allows relating the hoard from Irdyk to the 7th — first half of the 6th centuries BC. The presence of paired objects in this hoard also attracts attention because it is observed in the Tien Shan region for the first time. The presence of these three categories of items in the hoard can be attributed as a ritual offering from the three most important social groups of the Saka society — priests, warriors, plain herdsmen and farmers, which is also confirmed by the ancient written accounts.

This culture had a special place among the nomadic and pastoral cultures of this period in Central Asia. It was generally occupied mountainous regions of Alai, as well as the border areas of Xinjiang and Karategin. Besides, some monuments of the western part of the Fergana valley had a significant cultural proximity. The Saka culture of Alai is represented mainly by burial sites, the main part of which belongs to the VI-III centuries BC. The process of formation of this archaeological culture was complex. The general role in this was played by a big migration wave, which came from Eastern Kazakhstan to the west direction through the territories of Tien Shan and Fergana at the turn of the VIII and VII centuries BC. The local population associated with the Chust culture of the Late Bronze Age played a lesser role in this process of its formation. Finally, the Saka culture of Alai was formed not earlier than the beginning of the VI century BC. Its population had close cultural and ethnogenetic interactions with the neighboring population of the Eilatan-Aktam culture of Fergana, the Saka tribes of the Pamirs and the ancient nomads of Xinjiang

The finds of such arrowheads are quite rare. They account for about 20% of all arrowhead artifacts dating from the middle - second half of the 1st millennium BC. On the basis of the analysis of research materials two main classes of the arrowheads have been distinguished: tribladed arrowheads and trihedral arrowheads. Each of these classes is divided into three types based on the shape of the warhead of the arrowhead. All three types of the arrowheads were used from the IV century to the first half of the II century BC i.e. during the final stage of the Saka period on the territory of the Tian-Shan region. The Tian-Shan arrowheads have very close analogues found in the adjacent regions - the Pamir Mountains, Sughd Province, Bactria and the Lower Syr-Darya as well as in the Forest-Steppe Altai, Northern Kazakhstan, the South Urals and the Volga region. This fact allows considering the process of appearance and spread of such arrowheads on the territory of the Tian Shan region as a reflection of the large-scale changes in Eurasian steppes. These changes were most likely caused by the proliferation of metal armor as a form of protection during this period of time. Military contacts with the armies of Alexander the Great and the Hellenistic states in Central Asia should have also played a role in these weapon related shifts.

Comparison of the male and female groups shows their significant similarity, both in average values and in the level and direction of variability. The Alai skulls contain two morphological complexes of characters. One of them is a mesobrachicranial, low-faced Mongoloids with low orbits, a wide nose and alveolar prognathism, expressed mainly in women group. Another morphological complex is characterized by dolichocrania and has a pronounced Caucasoid character of the Mediterranean type, which has local origin. In this case the increase of the Caucasoid characteristics towards the Mediterranean anthropological type is probably associated with ethnogenetic contacts with the Saka of the Pamirs. An analysis of the anthropological materials of the Saka period from the Alai made it possible to obtain new data, clarify the most important milestones in the ethnogenetic history of the Saka of this region and outline their connections with synchronous populations of the Early Iron Age.

Typological features are considered in the context of relations with synchronous cultures of neighboring territories. Based on this, it is concluded that the daggers of this type appeared as a result of contacts with the Scythian type cultures of the Forest-Steppe Altai and lesser under the influence of the Sarmatian world of the Volga and Southern Urals regions. From the territory of the Saka culture of the Tien Shan region they were further spread in Central Asia - in the Fergana, the Pamir-Alai and Bactria.

This category of weapons is considered as a rare find on the territory of the spread of the Saka culture of Tien Shan region. Therefore, each new find of such items significantly expands the understanding of the features of the formations and development of the blade weapons in this territory. The first dagger by its morphological features was dated to the late half of the 5 th-first half of the 4 th centuries BC. Similar analogies were discovered on the territory of the Forest-Steppe Altai, the Volga region and the South Urals, which allowed to clarify its chronological framework. The second dagger was dated by the author back to the first half of the 3 rd century BC. At the same time the closest morphological parallels are found mainly in the Sarmatian materials of the South Urals region. Analysis of the data of the two daggers showed that Tien Shan region was already quite early in the southern periphery of the original territory of formation of the early Sarmatian-type blade weapons. It is noteworthy that cultural interrelationships not only with the territories of the Southern Urals and Volga region, but also with the Forest-Steppe Altai, played a significant role in appearance and spread of the daggers there.

The political crisis seized the Ancient Persia in its time made the Persian kings to use against the nomads of Central Asia totally different strategy. At the course of the early half of the 4th century BC were concluded various alliance treaties. This allowed the Achaemenids to recruit nomadic detachments to solve their political problems.
The most equal relations with the Achaemenids were established with political nomadic unions of the Tien Shan and Pamir regions. At the same time different tribal groups of the Dahas and Massagetae, neighbored to the agricultural areas of Central Asia, in fact, were in the position of the lesser allies of the Achaemenid Iran, which allowed them to attract their military detachments.
The invasion of the region the troops of Alexander the Great changed this balance between the Achaemenids and local unions of nomads. The nomads supported antimacedonian rebellions in Central Asia, as the allies of the last Achaemenids. However, their subsequent military defeat forced them try to confirm the treaties, such as were previously concluded with Achaemenids. As a result, in the army of Alexander the Great appeared military units of the Dahas and «Scythian», that took part in his Indian campaign.
The death of Alexander and the Diadochi wars changed the balance of power in Central Asia. With the statement here of the power of the Seleucids, who attempted to support their power in the sedentary part of this region, were engaged in lasted military conflicts with the local
nomadic unions.

Purpose. Battle hatchets are the rare category of weapons on the territory of the Saka culture of Tien Shan region. Therefore, the publication of one of the first finds of this type of weapon, which was made in the 1960-s, seems important.
Results. The combat hatchet has straight pin, massive hammered butt and closed shaft-hole for the wooden handle. Besides, the combat hatchet has iron capping, protected the end of the handle. On the features of the funeral inventory from this burial, where the hatchet was found, and analogies from Central Asia and Altai, it was dated to the end of the 5th – beginning of 4th centuries BC. The closest parallels it has in Saka burials in Semirechie and in related materials the Kamen (Kamenskaya) culture in the Forest-Steppe Altai.
Conclusion. The investigated combat hatchet is one of the earliest examples of iron arms on the territory of the Saka culture of Tien Shan region. In addition, we can conclude that this type of weapon appeared on the territory of the Saka culture of Tien Shan as result of very close cultural contacts with ancient population of the Forest-Steppe Altai. But on the base of some of details it was concluded that combat hatchet from Ketmen-Tyube valley had local origin and reflects the independent line of development of this type of weapon in the local Saka culture, based on samples from the Forest-Steppe Altai.

Following the recent environmental turn in the humanities, an increasing corpus of art historical scholarship is responding to the need for post-humanist frameworks in studying the arts of ancient societies. Such works place non-human agents such as fauna in the limelight of their inquiries and, in so doing, shift their focus away from the human practitioner. This line of inquiry is especially pertinent to the study of early China (namely, its northern periphery) and the Iron Age Eurasian Steppe, inhabited mainly by pastoral nomads. Despite having distinctly different preferences for materials and modes of making, both China and the Steppe exhibit a shared aesthetic penchant for zoomorphism. Indeed, animal-inspired bodies define the art and design of these cultural spheres in ways that one would not observe elsewhere in the ancient world. This Special Issue seeks to uncover the different strategies behind the construction and circulation of animal imagery and objects in ancient Central Eurasia (700 BCE–400 CE). Authors may also engage with the usage of products and materials derived from animals, the entanglement of human makers and their biota, animals as cultural capital and tokens of clout, and, more broadly, the role of animals in one’s creative process. The goal of this issue is twofold. It ventures to find new perspectives on ancient cultural spheres that have, for too long, remained on the peripheries of the art historical canon, and whose epistemological potential has not been fully explored. This Special Issue also aims to examine the visual parameters of the unique interactions between pastoralists and the animal kingdom, in light of the former’s great dependency on the latter. Many of the papers study the visual and material manifestations of one’s symbiotic or antagonistic relationship with fauna. While primarily focused on nomadic or semi-nomadic peoples, this Special Issue also considers zoomorphism across north China and elsewhere in Central Eurasia and explores the convergent, fluid notions of zoomorphism across these interconnected cultural zones. Contributions that transcend disciplinary boundaries are most welcome.
