Аннотация

В статье представлены результаты микроскопического анализа образцов антропоморфной скульптуры с известного сибирского верхнепалеолитического памятника Мальта. Основная, «классическая» коллекция была получена при раскопках под руководством М.М. Герасимова в 1928-1958 гг. Исследования памятника в последние годы иркутскими археологами под руководством Г.И. Медведева актуализировали проблемы возраста, микростратиграфии, культурной дифференциации комплекса. Предлагаемые результаты микроскопического анализа антропоморфных фигурок коллекции, полученной в период «Герасимовского цикла» исследования, позволяют выявить технологическую последовательность, основные способы формообразования и декорирования антропоморфной пластики Мальты. Определены технологические этапы формирования изделия: обработка исходного бивня, заготовка скульптуры с выделением основных элементов, детализация и декорирование. Для каждой стадии определен стандартный набор использовавшихся орудий. Особое внимание в статье уделено элементам декорирования изделия: орнаментации, гравировке, детализации одежды и аксессуаров, раскрашиванию. Отмечены закономерность в использовании определенного набора орудий (строгального ножа, скобеля, резчика, резца, провертки) и характерный стандарт их применения на каждой технологической стадии. Декорирование предметов производилось в пределах устойчивого технологического канона: типичные элементы орнамента, их сочетание, определенная зона орнаментации. Одним из интереснейших фактов дополнительного декорирования антропоморфной скульптуры Мальты является нанесение на некоторые предметы пигментов (алого, зеленого и голубого/синего), следы которых были выявлены в результате проведенного исследования.
