The article is devoted to the analysis of the image traditions in the rock art of Tepsei archaeological micro-region in the context of the archaeological materials obtained during the Krasnoyarsk archaeological expedition in the 1960s – 1970s. The earliest petroglyphs were depicted in the «Minusinsk» and «Angara» styles, though excavation materials dated by the Aeneolithic period were not found there. The most representative series of images are dated by the Bronze Age, the Early Iron Age and the Tesin period. They are corresponded to the numerous materials discovered at the exca-vations. Tashtyk culture is presented by the unique excavation materials; petroglyphs of this period are rather rare. The Middle Age images are expressionless and, commonly, attributed poorly while the excavated material is extensive and various. Different stylistic groups within concrete image traditions are revealed.
