- Abstract
- The article tells of chessboard games in the everyday life of the indigenous peoples of northwestern Siberia. It publishes a group of items from the excavations at Poluysky (Obdorsky) Gorodok (end of the 16 th – the 17 th cc.) which was the residence of the chieftains of the Obdorsk princes. The author uses archaeological and ethnographic sources to analyze the emergence and existence of the games within the cultures of the North Siberian peoples, from the late 16 th to the 20 th cc. The article concludes that the pieces from Poluysky Gorodok comprised a set for a game analogous to the game of tepek (tep), which is known from ethnographical data. The indigenous peoples of the North statred using such games at the end of the 16 th c. at the earliest, in the course of active colonization of Siberia by the principality of Muscovy.
