Shaman-Gora (Russian: Шаман-Гора) is an archeological site on the outskirts of the village of Duty in Khiloksky District of Chita Oblast. It is famous for its about 100 petroglyphs dating from 4000–1000 BCE. It is thought to be a ritual site for the local tribes. There are two main strata and their artifacts show that there was a highly developed society in the region at the confluence of the Duty and Arey Rivers.
