Life

She then worked in the Institute of History , Philology and Philosophy (IIFF) of the Siberian Department of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (AN-SSSR) , from which the Institute of Archeology and Ethnography emerged from the Siberian Department of the AN-SSSR. She was an aspirant of Vyacheslav Ivanovich Molodin and Vadim Mikhailovich Masson in the Leningrad Department of the Institute of Archeology of the AN-SSSR.

Mummy of the Princess of Ukok

In 1993 Polosmak found a burial site of the Pasyryk culture with a female mummy , who became known as the Princess of Ukok , in a burial mound in the Altai Republic near Kosh-Agach in the permafrost . The frozen mummy and other finds were brought to Novosibirsk and then to Moscow for scientific examination under laboratory conditions . This was problematic because the site is close to the Chinese border, the exact course of which was disputed at this point. The Altaians considered the Princess of Ukok one of their own and demanded her return to her tomb. In the forensic examinations, indications of belonging to the Europids and no Mongolian characteristics were found.

In 1997 Polosmak successfully defended her dissertation on the Pasyryk culture. This was followed by a professorship at the University of Novosibirsk. She carried out excavation expeditions in the Altai , Khakassia , Tuva , the Barabasteppe, the Irkutsk Oblast , the Krasnoyarsk Territory and Mongolia .

In 2004 Polosmak received the State Prize of the Russian Federation in the field of science and technology together with Vyacheslav Ivanovich Molodin for research into the Pasyryk culture. In 2011, Polosmak was elected as a Corresponding Member of the AN-SSSR.

She is a corresponding member of the German Archaeological Institute (DAI) and an honorary doctorate from the Institute for Archeology of the Mongolian Academy of Sciences .
