Abstract
The article discusses the burial structures on the sites in the Tomsk Ob area in the High Middle Ages. Materials from Astrakhantsevo, Bassandaika burial mounds and a burial ground by the mouth of Malaya Kirgizka are used as a basis.The study involves materials on the burial structures at the sites of Novosibirsk Ob area which constitute a part of the Basandaiskaya culture of the Kuznetsk Depression referring to the Basandai cultural community and also to the Forest Steppe Alta. Each area of burial structures, along with common features, has its own differences.The article aims to study the designs of burial structures in the Tomsk Ob area, to compare them with burial structures on the adjacent territories in order to identify similarities and differences in an important feature of the burial ritual in archaeological cultures of the indicated areas, which is significant for determining the ethnicity of Turkic-speaking nomad groups who came to the territory of Tomsk Ob area in the High Middle Ages.
