Abstract

The paper addresses the issue of origination of various weapon systems in the steppes and forest-steppes of Eurasia. The new types of weapons rapidly spread across the forest-steppe corridor of the continent, as they were mastered by the majority of the nomads and semi-nomads. An exception was the emergence and spread of polearms with a single-bladed tip and an open socket, which was spread in the Baikal region in late 1st - early 2nd Millennia AD. They were used for stabbing or chopping and cutting blows. Since the 17th century, the palmas with pediculate tips were widely spread among the inhabitants of the forest zone of North Asia,
becoming one of the most important types of weapons among the Yakuts, Evenks, Selkups, Khanty, Kets and other Siberian and Far Eastern peoples.
