Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The article presents the results of a comprehensive study of materials from the Arshaly settlement (Maysky district, Pavlodar region, Republic of Kazakhstan): an analysis of the stratigraphy of the archaeological deposits, a typological and technological study of the ceramic complex, an analysis of the traces of use of stone tools and an archaeozoological study of faunal remains. The application of radiocarbon dating methods in conjunction with the comparative analysis of materials from synchronous sites in the region made it possible to refine the chronological position and cultural classification of the Arshaly settlement in the context of the Dongal cultural tradition. The results of the archaeozoological investigations provided valuable insights into the particularities of the livestock breeding of the ancient population. The significance of the Arshaly settlement lies in its potential for an in-depth study of the processes of cultural genesis and socio-economic changes characteristic of the transitional period between the Late Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age in northeastern Kazakhstan. В статье представлены результаты комплексного исследования материалов поселения Аршалы (Майский р-н, Павлодарская обл., РК): анализ стратиграфии культурных слоев, типологическое и технологическое изучение керамического комплекса, трасологический анализ каменных орудий, а также археозоологическое исследование фаунистических остатков. Применение методов радиоуглеродного датирования в сочетании с компаративным анализом материалов синхронных памятников региона позволило уточнить хронологическую позицию и культурную атрибуцию поселения Аршалы в контексте развития донгальской культурной традиции. Результаты археозоологических исследований предоставили ценную информацию о специфике животноводческой деятельности древнего населения. Значимость исследования поселения Аршалы заключается в его потенциале для углубленного изучения процессов культурогенеза и социально-экономических изменений, характерных для переходного периода между эпохой финальной бронзы и донгальским периодом в Центральном Казахстане.
