During the period from the last three hundred years BC to the beginning of the new era, (Hunno-Sarmatian period) the Huns in the East and the Sarmatians in the West changed the ethno-cultural situation in the steppe and forest-steppe zones of Eurasia. The cultural change is also noticeable in the north of the Altai mountains. The territory of the intermountain valley of the Lower Katun is characterized by the Maima culture named after the Maima-1 monument. This culture is represented mainly by the settlement sites, such as Dolina Svobody-2, Maima-1, Maima-13, Maima-14, Cheremshanka. The latest research in the area of Mazherok village enabled to define the burial monuments of the Maima archaeological culture (Chultukov Log-1g, Ust-Muny-1). In the 2012 the archaeological excavation was conducted on the Maima culture site Chultukow-Log 9 by the Russian-Polish expedition from the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology of the Russian Academy of Science (Siberian Branch) and Institute of Archaeology, Jagiellonian University. The results of the 2010–2013 field research in the area of Mazherok village enabled to discover new monuments of the Maima archaeological culture on the territory of the intermountain valley of the Lower Katun, which expressly contributes to the more precise chronology of this cultural formation, geographical range and peculiarities of the development of the area as well as reconstruction of the economic activities of the North Altai population in the Hunno-Sarmatian period.
