The article considers the materials of the Dolgaya-1 site and the Novoromanovskaya Pisanitsa site, which form an archaeological and petroglyphic complex unique for the Nizhnetomsky hearth of rock art. A semantic interpretation of the remains of the ritual hunting meal and individual images of the scribble is proposed in the context of the calendar myth of the space chase. "Late" Ugric and Evenki reminiscences of this mythologeme are considered. The hypothesis of sacralization of the location of the Dolgaya-1 site and Novoromanovskaya Pisanitsa in the Paleometallic epoch, due to the special hydrography of the area, semantically related to mythocalendar representations, is substantiated.
Keywords: parking lot Dolgaya-1, Novoromanovskaya pisanitsa, space chase, mythocalendar rituals.

Petroglyphs of the Novoromanovskaya pisanitsa are plotted on these planes. In the western and northern directions, rock folds form the basis for several soil-covered and sanded terraces in a stepwise rise. On one of them, 5 m to the west of the basement, and found the location.
