Abstract

Article presents excavations results and interdisciplinary research conducted in 2022 at the Balykty mound, located near Lake Balykty in Akmola Region. The burial site consists of 7 mounds, with a diameter of 5-7 m. Excavations were conducted in mound 1, where more than 20 bronze artifacts were discovered. The complex of a horse bridle and arrowheads, whetstone, bone awl are made in “animal style”. Based on the found artifacts, the site was identified as a typical «warrior» burial for the Tasmola culture. The excavation was digitally processed, and orthophotomaps and topographic surveys of the site were conducted. Anthropological analysis determined that the burial belonged to
a male aged between 45 and 50 years. Radiocarbon analysis dated the burial to the 6th-5th century BC. A mineralogical analysis of the stone identified the raw material used. The mound is concluded to belong to representatives of the Tasmola culture who inhabited the northern part based on material evidence and interdisciplinary research.
Comprehensive scientific results regarding the material complexes and ritual issues of warriors and common people of the Early Iron Age of Northern Saryarka can be obtained by studying the elite burial sites and small mounds.
