Abstract

The article presents the latest results of excavations of one of the reference burials of the Kara-Abyz culture, located in the Iglinsky region of the Republic of Bashkortostan. Materials from six burials containing seven skeletons are introduced into scientific circulation. The funeral rite is characterized by the following features: burials were performed according to the rite of inhumation in simple subrectangular grave pits with rounded corners, vertical walls and a flat bottom. The accompanying equipment is represented by a significant number of bronze decorations: zoomorphic belt plates, belt mirror plaques, round plaques, trapezoidal pendants, etc. Weapon items are represented by iron three-bladed arrowheads, horse harness items are presented by iron bits. From the category of household items are presented by iron knives and a spindle whorl. The grave goods allow us to date the identified burials within the 2nd century BC — 2nd century AD.
