The article studies peculiar anthropomorphic rock images of the Mongolian Altai, representing some persons in shoulder clothes. The co-authors analyzed the results of their own field studies and published materials from the excavated complexes of the Mongolian Altai, Tibetan petroglyphs and stone sculptures of Xinjiang. They offer an experience of typological research of the “Chemurchek type” anthropomorphic figures, a chronology and semantics of these images, and present their hypothesis about the prototypes of “Chemurchek anthropomorphs” in the cult sculpture of the Bactria–Margiana archaeological complex.
Keywords: Mongolian Altai, petroglyphs, “Chemurchek type” anthropomorphic images, Bactria-Margiana archaeological complex
