Abstract
The paper presents the results of studies conducted at the Pazyryk burial mound at the Khankarinsky Dol burial ground in the Northwestern Altai. Based on the burial rite, grave goods and results of radiocarbon analysis, this site is attributed to the 4th–3rd centuries BC. The paper focuses on an analysis of the burial rite and a reconstruction of a unique female headdress which is decorated with zoomorphic appliquéd ornaments and tops. These fi ndings considerably increase our knowledge of the nomadic costume of Central Asia during the Scythian-Saka period.
