Аңдатпа. Мақала жалпы алғанда, эллипс пішінді ерекше тұтқалы ерте сарматтық темір қанжарлар мен қылыштардың Орталық Азиядан таралу феноменіне арналған. Мұндай қарудың ең үлкен концентрациясы Тянь-Шань маңы аймағында тіркеледі, бірақ кейбір үлгілер Солтүстік Бактрияда (Тәжікстанның оңтүстігіндегі) және Ферғана маңында кездеседі. Осындай тұтқалары бар қанжарлар мен қылыштар ертедегі сарматтық мәдениеттің көне дәуірінде Оңтүстік Орал маңында және Оралдың арғы бетінде, сондай-ақ скифтік нысандары Саян-Алтайдың аумағында кездеседі. Осындай тұтқалары бар пышақ қаруының хронологиясы IV-III ғасырларға сәйкес келеді және оның үлгілері белгілі ескерткіштерге арналған сенімді хронологиялық көрсеткіш болып табылады.

Кілт сөздер: ерте көшпелілер; қарулану; қанжарлар мен қылыштар; эллипстәрізді тұтқалар.

Аннотация.

Статья посвящена анализу особого типа рукоятей железных кинжалов и мечей раннесарматского облика из Средней Азии. Наибольшая концентрация подобного клинкового оружия фиксируется в Притяньшанье, но отдельно похожие образцы также есть в Северной Бактрии (Южный Таджикистан) и Приферганье. Кинжалы и мечи с аналогичными рукоятями отмечаются в древностях раннесарматской культуры в Южном Приуралье и Зауралье, а также на территории культур скифского облика Саяно-Алтая. Хронология клинкового оружия с подобными рукоятями укладывается в IV-III вв. и является надежным хронологическим индикатором для памятников, из которых известны его образцы.

Ключевые слова:
