Topic MAN OF ARCTIC
Summary The articles analyses the anthropomorphic images discovered within the ancient Ust-Poluy sacred place complex (1st century BC — 1st century AD). The author gives a brief overview of available sources, analyses the manufacturing process, iconography of the images, building of compositions and scenes with the participation of anthropomorphic personages. As a result the author made a conclusion about the unity of anthropomorphic images, has drawn the boundaries of similar artifacts distribution area, and offered a hypothesis suggesting that the art of Ust-Poluy was a precursor of the art of Middle Ages in this region.
