Abstract

The Shantimes burial ground is a multi-time site, on the funerary site of which 19 structures are visually fixed, among which a giant quadrangular stone platform with rounded altars located on its perimeter is stands out, dated the final bronze, as well as small stone mounds of the Early Iron Age, one of which was excavated in 2016 by the expedition of the Saryarka Archaeological Institute. It was a stone mound, with a diameter of about 4,5 m, with a ring-fence made of large stones. In the central part of the structure, a burial was found in a ground pit, at the bottom of which the skeleton of a woman aged 18-25 years, laid out in an extended position, on her back and oriented head to the south-west, was cleared. The burial equipment is quite poor: a metal wire earring, an animal's canine, as well as fragments of a leather belt with eight metallic eight-shaped inserts found in the pelvic region.

The burial rite and the discovered things have certain analogies in the cultures of the Early Iron Age. The preliminary dating was refined by radiocarbon analysis, the results of which make it possible to classify the burial as belonging to the circle of early sites (the first half of the VIIIth centuries – the second half of the VIth century BC).
