The paper analyzes the experience of creation and use of scientific-artistic and substantive reconstructions of the weapon systems of ancient and medieval nomadic peoples who inhabited the mountains and steppes of South Siberia and Central Asia for scientific purposes. The main results of the previous experiments held by the researchers in classification of ancient and medieval weapon objects of Eurasia steppe zone’s ancient and medieval peoples are manifested. The basic principles of formal signs typological classification of the subjects of offensive and defensive weapons’ objects from the archaeological sites and collections from the monuments of the nomadic cultures of Central Asia historical and cultural region are reviewed. As a result of the ancient or medieval nomadic population armaments classification analysis, it is possible to identify the spectrum of kinds and typological diversity of weapons as a part of object complex of each specific archaeological culture. All the variety of the specific archaeological culture’s classified forms of weapon can be consolidated to a single set of the implements of war. On the basis of the identified set, it is possible to carry out scientific-artistic reconstructions of the nomad warriors’ look. These pictures of ancient and medieval nomadic warriors could be used as a model for making substantive reconstructions containing items of offensive and defensive weapons made of modern materials. Such objects can be used for identification of functional characteristics of various objects and their details as a part of weapons complex. Substantive reconstructions can be valuable teaching aids for delivering lectures or conducting seminars on military history of the nomadic peoples of Central Asia historical and cultural region, during the training process.
