Keywords: Western Siberia, ancient settlement Flame of Siberia-6, sanctuary "Flame of Siberia", Middle Ages. Introduction Plamya Sibiri-6 ancient settlement is located 30 km east of Tyumen, on a high (2.5 - 3.0 m) steep promontory terrace on the southern shore of Lake Baikal. The Antonov Monument is a fortified area (a shaft with a height of 3.0-4.5 m, a width of 2-5 m, a ditch with a depth of 1-2 m, a width of 2-4 m), on which 22 housing depressions are fixed. The area is 4,032 m2. On the south-eastern side there are nine more depressions (a village), and on the eastern side there is a mane-shaped drop-shaped remnant delineated by a moat (Fig. 1). The monument was discovered in 2005 by V. V. Korniets [2006, pp. 62-65]. In 2011, a 120 m2 excavation site was laid on the eastern site of the settlement. As a result, two dwellings and the associated part of the defensive structure adjacent to the inner side of the rampart were fully investigated. Sub-square, semi-earth-type dwellings with an area of 25-30 m2, with a hearth in the center, are connected by small passages, the walls outside are covered with sandy loam (mainland and/or hearth). The collection from the excavations includes more than 9,500 finds, of which 223 are individual objects. The bronze ring, ring and tubular piercing, and earrings made of bronze and silver (?) are distinguished as dating items (Fig. 2), which, together with the features of the ceramic complex, allow the monument to be attributed to the VI-VII centuries. Among the individual items from the excavation materials are not related to the time of operation of the settlement, they date back to the first third of the II millennium AD. It ... Read more
