Abstract


The Preobragenka-6 burial site is located in the Western Siberia. The site dates to the 3-d millenium BC and belongs to the Odinovo culture of the Bronze Age.
At present there are 76 burials investigated. There are a lot of heterogeneous data of the site: archaeological, anthropological, paleozoological, paleobotanical, radiocarbon dating, etc.  
The entire set of data provides an opportunity to investigate various processes of influence and transformation of the Odinovo culture and to contribute greatly to the understanding of the cultural development of Sibiria at the Bronze Age.
To integrate and analyze the entire set of data, we used a computer system based on GIS. Applied approaches and methods and the results we present in the form of a poster.
