Basic information
Sample name: Begash (Phase 1b)

Geography
Country: Kazakhstan


Coordinate: 44° 54' N, 78° 30' E
Coordinate basis: stated in text

Time interval: Holocene

Section: 3760

Unit number: 2

Unit order: below to above

Max Ma: 0.00354

Min Ma: 0.00346

Age basis: radiocarbon (uncalibrated)

Geography comments: "The settlement at Begash is located in eastern Kazakhstan (Semirech'ye) in the piedmont zone of the Dzhungar Mountains (950m asl). The site nestles on a flat ravine terrace enclosed by steep canyon walls on the north, west and south, and is situated along a spring-fed stream".
Radiocarbon dates for Phase 1b range from 3540 ± 140 to 3460 ± 35 BP (1950-1690 cal. BC)

Environment
Lithology: not described

Taphonomic context: human accumulation,settlement

Archaeology: ceramics,hearths,stone tools,other structures

Habitat comments: "The geography of the site indicates that Begash was a seasonally occupied winter time settlement for regionally mobile pastoralists".
"Phase 1b reflects little change in terms of the site's architecture, and is primarily documented by another carbon-rich habitation level, distinguished from the lower surface levels of Phase la by a thin sandy fill layer approximately 10 cm thick. Ceramic forms from Phase 1b are predominately open at the neck, with small lips at the rims. A lack of chert lithics and fewer stone tools may mark a technological shift in this period".

Methods
Life forms: carnivores,ungulates

Sampling methods: quarry,screenwash

Sample size: 170 specimens

Years: 2005 - 2006

Sampling comments: "Begash was excavated in 2005 and 2006. During the excavation, faunal remains were carefully collected by hand in all trenches of the site and screening of 50 per cent of the excavated soil was performed through a 10 mm screen. We also wet sieved and floated representative hearth and midden samples from nearly all stratigraphic contexts. While overall bone preservation is good, the remains are characterised by a high degree of fragmentation with only very few bones being complete".
