Abstract
Bokovenko describes the Tagar Culture, an Early Nomad culture that was less affected by outside influences due to the mountain ranges surrounding it. Described are the cemeteries and other mortuary data, including differences between adult and child burials, artifacts (armaments, tools, horse tack, vessels, toilet articles, ornaments, and art work), and mummification.
