ABOUT THE AGE OF THE IRON-SMELTING FIRES IN THE KUYAKTANAR TUNNEL (MOUNTAIN ALTAI)
Abstract
The remains of ancient iron smelting furnaces in the Kuyakhtanar tract (southeastern Altai Mountains) have long been known to historians, geologists, and local historians. They are deservedly included in the list of geological natural monuments of the Altai Republic. Information about them is available in many local history museums in Southern Siberia, for example, the Mining Museum in Zmeinogorsk (Altai Krai). However, a number of questions related to them remain unresolved.
