Пока каталог могил Аджикуи готовится к печати, в данной статье впервые публикуются 15 печатей, найденных в этих погребениях. Печати изготавливались из камня, металла и фаянса; из них 13 были односторонними штампами, одна представляла собой печать на навершии булавки из бронзы и по- следняя — двусторонняя печать из гематита. Cюжеты, форма и материал печатей, так же как и техника изготовления, не оставляют сомнений, что все они принадлежат к цивилизации Окса, находят близкие аналогии с артефактами из других памятников Маргианы и Бактрии, а их хронология относится к концу III тыс. до н. э. Как и на других могильниках цивилизации Окса, большинство печатей из Аджикуи были найдены в могилах с женскими захоронениями, что дает основания считать, что женщины в сообществах Центральной Азии и Среднего Востока этого времени, в том числе на Аджикуи, занимали важное социальное и экономическое положение.
While the catalogue of the graves from Adji Kui is being prepared for the upcoming publication, this paper describes and presents for the first time fifteen seals found in the burials. The seals were manufactured in stone, metal and faience; thirteen of them were one-sided stamp seals, one is a stamp seal atop a pin head in bronze and the last is represented by a two-sided seal in hematite. Their subjects, shape and material as well as their manufacturing techniques highlight that all seals belong to the Oxus Civilization. They find several close comparisons with artefacts from other sites in Margiana and Bactria and their chronological distribution is dated to the late 3rd millennium BC. As evidenced in other Oxus Civilization graveyards, most of the Adji Kui seals were found in graves containing female individuals, surmising then that the place of women in the Middle East and Central Asian communities, among them also Adji Kui, was socially and economically important.

Abstract
While the catalogue of the graves from Adji Kui is being prepared for the upcoming publication, this paper describes and presents for the first time fifteen seals found in the burials. The seals were manufactured in stone, metal and faience; thirteen of them were one-sided stamp seals, one is a stamp seal atop a pin head in bronze and the last is represented by a two-sided seal in hematite. Their subjects, shape and material as well as their manufacturing techniques highlight that all seals belong to the Oxus Civilization. They find several close comparisons with artefacts from other sites in Margiana and Bactria and their chronological distribution is dated to the late 3rd millennium BC. As evidenced in other Oxus Civilization graveyards, most of the Adji Kui seals were found in graves containing female individuals, surmising then that the place of women in the Middle East and Central Asian communities, among them also Adji Kui, was socially and economically important.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
