Аннотация

This study investigates two Alakul structures discovered at the Vorovskaya Yama Bronze Age mine in the southern Trans-Urals (c. 1900–1500 BCE). Based on the 2021 excavation data, the structures can be characterized according to the following features: their construction and filling; the presence of traces of metal in the hearths; a high density of the mass material (ceramics and bones) in the cultural layer; and the functionality of tools. We assume that Structure No. 1 was a production building that housed mining and smelting processes, while Structure No. 2 was probably a household building. These results, which demonstrate a division into residential and industrial zones, find parallels in the mining and metallurgical complexes associated with the Srubnaya culture.
