The article presents the first publication of the results from the excavation of Kurgan 8 at the Maslyakha-1 burial ground, conducted in 1982 by the archaeological expedition of the Barnaul State Pedagogical Institute under the direction of A. P. Umansky and V. A. Mogilnikov. In Grave 12 of Kurgan 8, fragmented remains of wooden tableware — a dish and a bowl — were discovered. These finds are considered unique for the Upper Ob region. A reconstruction of the vessels’ original appearance is provided, based on the study of field documentation and surviving fragments. The article also analyzes the microtopography of the finds within the burial and discusses their closest analogies.

Keywords: Western Siberia, Eurasian steppes, Upper Ob River region, Early Iron Age, woodworking, wooden tableware
