Popis: The paper considers the problem of the time of Islam origin in the Tomsk Ob Region. The lack of reliable written evidence makes it necessary to involve archaeological data. The analysis of the obsequial rites enabled to suggest that Islam penetrated into the Tomsk Ob Region in early XIII–XIV centuries simultaneously with the spread of Islam across the Golden Horde. The graves arranged according to the Muslim rites were discovered in two necropolises located at the right riverside of the Ob – the Astrakhantsevsky and Shaitan II burial grounds. These facts make it possible to suggest that the Tomsk Ob Region was the part of the Golden Horde.
