The undergraduate of TSU Vladimir Namy studied these finds and, using 3D models, confirmed that the objects-“Numo”, “Vedeko”, barrel and ceramic vessel-together made up a device for distillation. The device was used not only for strong alcohol, but also for obtaining milk serum, kumys and other products.
