- Abstract
At the Burial Site Prospikhino Shivera-IV in the Lower Angara River, which was used in 11-14 centuries 26 bronze bipartite buckles were found. There are three main types among them: buckles with openwork circular, rhombic and solid round body. They have numerous analogies in the materials found between the rivers Ob, Irtysh and Angara. The round buckles with a solid body were found in the graves of all chronological groups of the burial, whereas the other types are typical for complexes of the 11-12 centuries. The buckles were cast according to a lost wax method, in one-piece clay forms. For three of the buckles X-ray fluorescence alloy analysis was conducted, which showed that they all were cast of lead-tin bronze. The quality of these pieces of jewelry in this category is relatively low; they have underfilled spaces, alloy overflows and metal deformation of the original shape
