Head ornaments from Mari burial grounds of the end of XI-XIII centuries
In the article, the author aims to consider the medieval Mari head ornaments. The work is based on burials materials of end of the XI - XIII centuries (Vyzhumsky II, Vyzhumsky III, Pochinkovsky, Rutkinsky, Dubovsky). Here is an overview of the elements of headgear, earrings and temporal rings, typology being developed, local and imported products are identified, assumptions are being made about the ways in which imported jewelry arrives, determined by analogy with the materials of other territories and the period of their use. Earlier, these problems studied in a number of works (by G.A. Arkhipov, T.B. Nikitina), but they were not a separate study. The article is accompanied by illustrative material - drawings of the considered things. The novelty of the research is determined by the weak scrutiny of the topic considered.
