Abstract

The article discusses the reconstruction of the sequence of the multilayer composition development at the surface 139 of Ortaa-Saryg-Khol (Ortaa-Sargol) petroglyphic site. More than half of the figures on this surface form superimpositions (palimpsests), the stratigraphic analysis of which allows us to establish the relative dating of the images and, subsequently, extrapolate the results obtained to other rock art monuments of Sayan Canyon. The documenting was performed by three-dimensional modeling by means of photogrammetry. A detailed stylistic and technological description of 25 figures was carried out, and an analysis of two superimpositional chains is given. A relative chronology had been established for images that overlap each other: 1st stage, Early Bronze Age (3rd millennium BC), 2nd stage, advanced Bronze Age (end of 3rd – first half of 2nd millennium BC), 3rd stage, Early Scythian period of 9th–6th centuries BC, 4th stage, Scythian period of 9th–2nd centuries BC.
