The Ingala Valley (‹See Tfd›Russian: Ингальская долина) is an archaeological district in the area between the Tobol and Iset rivers. It is the largest one in the south of the Tyumen Oblast, and belongs to the Iset cultural and historical province. It has 177 kurgans,[1] 55 archaeological sites of federal significance and 5 regional natural monuments.
Archaeological sites in the valley date from the Mesolithic (8th–7th millennium BC) to the Middle Ages (15th century) and include marks of the Andronovo culture[2] and Sargat culture civilizations. Some of the artifacts are stored in the State Hermitage Museum as the Siberian collection of Peter the Great;[3][4] others belonged to the lost well-known private collection of Nicolaes Witsen.[5]
