Summary/Abstract: The article examines polyculturalism among the Early Iron Age population of the Upper Ob region, drawing on materials from the Kamen-2 burial mound. This phenomenon is analyzed through burial, planographic, artifact, and ritual markers. The burial rite and grave goods of the Northern and Southern mound groups indicate that they were formed by different communities. The Southern group was likely created by a local, more sedentary population, whereas the Northern group appears to have been associated with more mobile, nomadic groups that had integrated with local inhabitants. The authors conclude that the Kamen-2 burial ground reflects a high degree of cultural and everyday adaptability among the population that created it.
