Abstract

In order to establish the western boundaries of the spread of “deer” stones, special surveys were launched in 2023 in the part of the territory of eastern Kyrgyzstan. During the shortterm work, timely documentation of ancient statues was carried out. In addition to previously known such archaeological sites, a new find has been recorded in the Kochkor Valley, which is introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. The study of “deer” stones is important for the implementation of the project of the Russian Science Foundation. The article publishes three small sculptures made of specially prepared stones and conditionally belonging to the category of simple ones. They only have images of two rings on the sides in the upper part. With the help of digital technologies, 3D-models of the stele were obtained and computer drawings were performed, allowing to determine the necessary parameters for a detailed description. Systematic studies of “deer” stones in Kyrgyzstan will clarify their archaeological and historical context.
