@article{Kyzlasov_2022, title={Secondary use of Turkic aristocratic memorials (Archaeological notes on the margins of the Orkhon atlas published in Kazakhstan)}, volume={4}, url={https://tsj.enu.kz/index.php/new/article/view/232}, DOI={10.32523/2664-5157-2022-4-23-34}, abstractNote={<p>In 2005-2006 in Astana, professors of the L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University<br />Myrzatay Zholdasbekov and Karzhaubay Sartkozhauly published an atlas of memorials of the Turkic<br />Khaganates of the 6th-8th centuries, preserved on the lands of Mongolia. It included not only stelae<br />with inscriptions carved on them, but also their archaeological and landscape surroundings. Such<br />a consolidated edition created new opportunities for scientific work. In particular, it turned out<br />that these monuments were repeatedly visited by contemporaries and descendants, and also reused<br />by them. At the memorials of Kul-tegin and Kosho-Tsaidam III, statues taken from other memorial<br />complexes that belonged to the previous time were reused. True, they did not belong to the culture of<br />the Turk people and in the new place did not depict the deceased or his entourage, but served as simple<br />balbals. However, at Erdenemandal V’s commemoration, the building material was a slab with a runic<br />inscription, taken from an early Turkic monument. When rebuilding for a new memorial in Ungetu, the previous one was not destroyed and its statues were used. The steles of the Ongin complex, bearing<br />inscriptions and family tamgas, testify that it was used to perpetuate the memory of a grandfather,<br />father, and grandson. The slab with the scene of the funeral feast in Askhete was later supplemented<br />with a runic inscription on the side, then with a personal tamga carved in the corner. Visits to the<br />memorials of the Second Eastern Turkic Khaganate later than their creation prove family and personal<br />tamgas, but this is a topic for a separate study. </p>}, number={4}, journal={Turkic Studies Journal}, author={Kyzlasov Игорь}, year={2022}, month={Dec.}, pages={23–34} }
