Погребение Вилюйское шоссе в Якутске

The paper is devoted to the Vilyuskoe Shosse burial found in the city of Yakutsk (Central Yakutia, Siberia) in 1999. Bones of woman and child were found in the grave, lying on the top of each other, and heads of skeletons are looking in opposite directions. Radiocarbon dating shows the age of burial as the middle of the first half of the third millennium B.C. This did not solve the question of cultural affiliation because the archaeological material was absent. The situation with orientation of skeletons from the same grave in opposite directions is known since the Early Neolithic in the multilayered graves from Lake Baikal burial complexes of Kitoi tradition, and from this region it can be traces to the Upper Lena River basin and further to Central Yakutia and Chukotka.
