The primary branch of food production was cattle-breeding while hunting and fishing played secondary role. These economic activity forms were the main sources of raw materials for homecraft - bone carving and furriery.
Raw materials for stone milling, wood working, pottery industry and bronze foundry were delivered from different Altai parts; from nearby surroundings of the settlement (clay for pottery industry, wood, sedimentary rock) to faraway deposits of complex ore, tin (Rudny Altai) and quality rock sources - flint (Gorny Altai).
