Abstract

The Myntobe necropolis is located 2 km south of the village of Gani Muratbaev, Keless district, Turkestan region. There are more than 600 mounds on the territory of the necropolis. Until 2017, funerary structures, burial traditions and material culture remained unexplored. That year, archaeologists from the Akhmet Yassawi  International Kazakh-Turkish University conducted excavations for the first time at burial grounds № 1 and № 3 and obtained new data on funeral rituals. After this, research on this necropolis was not conducted until 2022. Five years later, excavations resumed with funding from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Two mounds in 2022 and five in 2023 have provided valuable material relating to funerary traditions, worldviews and material culture, and a number of new data have now been collected. These data make it possible, to a certain extent, to reconstruct the structure of burial grounds, rituals before and during burial, cult rituals and the worldview of the inhabitants of Myntobe. First of all, the article provides general information about the mounds excavated to date. After this, an approximate reconstruction of the funeral tradition was made, taking into account the types of graves, construction technology, rituals before and during burial, as well as cult rituals after burial.
