Abstract

The article discusses the results of research work in 2019 carried out at the objects of historical and cultural heritage located in the Aksu district of the Almaty region of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Among the traditional, to the region, Sakas monuments of Early Iron Age discovered and studied a new and unique complex. The monument differed from the others in terms of the composition of the burial mounds and planigraphy. The mound of the main mound is almost entirely composed of rounded pebbles boulders. From the mound to the east there was a long masonry, at the end of which there was a round stone structure. An identical structure was located to the north. Another small stone mound was located to the north of the main one. Because of the studies carried out, in the largest burial mound, a pair burial in a tiered stone box, accompanied by three horses, was revealed. The totality of the elements of the funeral rite and accompanying implements made it possible to attribute the monument to the Pazyryk archaeological culture.
