Abstract

In the article, the author examines and analyzes in detail the publications devoted to the study of the archaeological site Noin-Ula, located in the North of Mongolia. With the discovery of this burial ground began archaeology of the Xiongnu, one of the ancient peoples who roamed throughout Central Asia from late 3rd century BC to late 1st century AD. Fragments of ancient Chinese and Parthian fabrics, embroidery, lacquered, bronze, iron and other items have been preserved in the elite mounds of Noin-Ula. The article summarizes the results of almost a century of study of the archaeological site, provides the most complete bibliography.
