Abstract
Tuva-type sites are found in and around modern Tuva. Again, the culture is defined by mortuary data and is divided into two time periods: the Arzhanskii stage or Arzhan Period followed by the Uyuk Culture. Bokovenko discusses grave construction and mortuary artifacts (horse tack, armaments, mirrors, ornaments, clothing, vessels), and the art work found on the artifacts and OLENNIYE KAMNI (deer stones). Also discussed, based on the morturay data, are house type and social structure.
