Kyiv. Ukraine. Ukraine Gate – August 03, 2021 – International News
The scientists found the artifacts during research in the Taldy Historical and Archaeological Park, located in the Shetsky district of the Karaganda region. Objects of the Bronze Age were studied, among which were earthen mounds where burials took place. Women were buried together with jewelry: bracelets, necklaces, hryvnias, plaques. And men – with arrowheads and knives. In one of these burials, they found rare tools: a “tailed knife” and a tesla.
“The traditional shape of knives is leaf-like. Sharpening is on both sides. They can be classified as daggers. For the first time, we found a knife that belongs to the class of “tailed”. Its tip is not straight but bent like an arc. One part is sharpened, the other is thickened. His purpose is exactly domestic. It is massive and comfortable. It is possible that a knife of this shape is even a kind of borrowing, ”says archaeologist Ihor Kukushkin.
“Tesla was used to work with wood. With it, they made chariots, kitchen utensils. The uniqueness of the found tool is that it has a handle made of a horn. The most interesting thing is the way the handle is attached, which tells us how Tesla was used in the work, ”said the archaeologist.
On July 23, archaeologists unearthed a rare 15th-century burial ground in Zaporizhia.
