РАННЕСАКСКАЯ
ШИЛИКТИНСКАЯ КУЛЬТУРА
(Tagisken kurgan; Tolstov 1962) have a number of principal similarities in the kurgan
238
construction, including the dimensions of outer and inner surface elements of burial mound,
239
funeral chamber, east-facing underground moat (called in Russian literature a dromos), and
240
building materials. The age of this kurgan sequence ranges from about 700 to 500 BC. Based on
241
our dating results of the Baigetobe kurgan implemented with
14
C wiggle-matching and tree-ring
242
analysis, it is likely that this kurgan was one of the earliest kurgans from known Saka elite
243
kurgans and the predecessor of the majority of burial occurrences in Central Asia. Moreover,
244
the correlation of burial rites and absolute ages between the Baigetobe kurgan and the early
245
European and Early Siberian Scythians suggests the importance and impact of this kurgan to
246
the onset of Saka nomadic culture in Central Asia.
247
CONCLUSIONS
248
The Bayesian modeling probability distribution of sequenced
14
C dates has resolved the cali-
249
bration uncertainties caused by the Hallstatt plateau of the calibration curve and estimated the
250
absolute age of the Baigetobe kurgan (kurgan#1 of Shilikty cemetery-3) at ~ 730–690 BC. This
251
derived age is close to the archaeological dating designated by the burial typology of Early Saka
252
between the early 8th and mid-7th Century BC.
253
Our dating results indicate that the Baigetobe kurgan was nearly contemporaneous to the
254
Arjan-2 kurgan (Tuva) and could be one of the earliest kurgans of the Saka-Scythian elite in
255
Central Asia, but very few of the hundreds of large kurgans have been excavated and dated.
256
More dating results will help to build a more complete picture and add to the chronology of the
257
region.
