Plate grave in the Ethnographic Museum of Transbaikaliens

Expansion of the plate grave culture. (D. H. Early Mongols) their assignment to the proto-Mongols and the localization of some ethnic groups in the area, however, is not so clearly definable as the map suggests.

The plate grave culture was in the late 2nd and 1st millennium BC. In Transbaikalia and northern Mongolia and thus belonged to the late Bronze Age and early Iron Age in this region.

The eponymous plate graves are characteristic. They are stone boxes , an enclosure made of stone slabs. The dead were buried lying on their backs with their heads facing the east, sometimes with animal skulls, especially horse skulls, a custom that was also widespread among the Xiongnu . The find material is kammabdruck- and notch afford decorated ceramic characterized. Chinese influences can also be seen in the ceramics; At the same time, connections to the upper Yenisei area can also be identified. Settlements have not yet been excavated; they are only known from reading finds. The economy was most likely dominated by livestock. The people of the plate grave culture were probably the earliest nomads in the region. Due to the rich natural resources, metallurgy was also practiced. The ethnicity of the bearers of the plate grave culture cannot be determined with certainty. The skeletons appear to have Asian features. The origin of the plate grave culture is controversial, in some elements, such as the funeral customs (stretched supine position with face to the east) and the ceramics, it shows similarities with previous cultures in the region. The previous Glaskovo culture may have played a role in this , but its bearers still lived semi-nomadically on modest arable farming and wintry mobile cattle breeding, in some regions heavily supplemented by hunting, fishing and gathering and which also moved from the south into the Baikal Region had spread. In the 3rd century BC The plate grave culture was replaced by the Xiongnu.
