Oglahty

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oglahty burial complex is located 60 kms north of Minusinsk, Siberia, on the right bank of Yenisei river. Oglahty burials are dated by the period from 2nd c. BC - 5th c. AD. The burials were first surveyed in 1903 by A.V. Adrianov. The dryness of the soil and favorable climatic conditions in the burial monument preserved perishable materials including wood, leather, fur, and fabrics. A prominent place among artifacts in the Oglahty complex occupy solid and decorated polychromatic fabrics.
