<strong>Geomorphic</strong> processes <strong>and</strong> geoarchaeology<br />
(Philippovka I, Ufa II), 2) the central group contiguous to the Main Urals Fault zone<br />
(Perevolochan I, Yakovlevka II), <strong>and</strong> 3) the eastern one (Kichigino I, Bolshoy<br />
Klimovsky, Stepnoy <strong>and</strong> Ushkatta). The eastern monuments are confined to the East-<br />
Urals Fault zone at Ural-Tobol rivers divide. The study of 34 PGE mineral grains was<br />
carried out which correspond to 3 composition types with Os, Ru <strong>and</strong> Ir prevalence,<br />
appox. [5]. On Os-Ru-Ir triangular diagram the most of fields are in its central part<br />
correspond to Os from Urals placers. Also there are separate figurative points which<br />
analogues not to established before at these deposits.<br />
Metal sources. We estimated probable sources of Au <strong>and</strong> PGE from ancient<br />
jewellers. According to inclusion morphology (roundness <strong>and</strong> heterogeneous<br />
composition) they were extracted from placers. The probable metal sources were used Au<br />
placers situated in the Main Urals <strong>and</strong> East-Urals Fault zones. These tectonic structures<br />
host Au-bearing ultrabasite bodies with Os mineralization <strong>and</strong> related placers. The<br />
comparison of native Os composition of Urals placers <strong>and</strong> Au jewelers from all points of<br />
this rare mineral finds will be carried out to determine Au extraction places<br />
for jewelleries.<br />
The researches were supported by interdisciplinary UB RAS project No 09-М-<br />
457-2001. Authors appreciate their colleagues E.V. Zaykova, E.V. Belogub,<br />
V.A. Kotlyarov <strong>and</strong> E.I. Churin for help <strong>and</strong> discussion.<br />

The cooperation of archaeology <strong>and</strong> geological sciences increased at the beginning<br />
of the XXI century due to modern analytical equipment in several scientific centers. Our<br />
publication is devoted to geoarchaeological researches of Institute of Mineralogy<br />
