Resumoespanol El asta de cervido ocupo un importante lugar como materia prima dentro del proceso de manufatura tradicional en la zona norte de Altai durante el Periodo Huno-Sarmata (primera mitad del I milenio DC). Diversas rutas migratorias estacionales de corzos atraviesan este territorio. El procesamiento del asta de corzo durante el Periodo Huno- Sarmata esta bien documentado en varios yacimientos arqueologicos en el valle del curso bajo del Katun. El surtido de productos esta compuesto, entre otros, por herramientas, elementos compuestos para arco, puntas de fleche y harneses de caballo. Laoccurrencia natural y gran cantidad de material especifico de asta afecta a diferencias en la tecnologia empleada para la manufactura. Generlmente, el conjunto de elementos de asta del Periodo Huno-Sarmata del norte de Altai es tipica de una region mas amplia que abarca parte del sur de Siberia, Asia Central y las estepas boscosas del Este de Europa. EnglishAntler of Cervidae was an important part of the raw material base in traditional manufacturing in Northern Altai during the Hunno-Sarmatian period (the first half of the 1st millennium CE). Several seasonal migration routes of the roe deer cross this territory. The processing of roe deer antler during the Hunno-Sarmatian period is well documented at several archaeological sites in the inter-mountain valley of the lower Katun River. The assortment of antler products is composed inter alia of tools, composite bow elements, arrowheads and horse harnesses. The natural occurrence and high quantity of the specific antler material affects differences in the technology of manufacture. Generally, the assortment of antler items of the Hunno-Sarmatian period from the Northern Altai is typical of the broader region of Southern Siberia, Central Asia and the forest steppes of Eastern Europe.
