Abstract:

In the southwestern edge of the Altay Mountains, in the Berel Valley, there is a figure that exceeds the number of faces. Permafrost layers were first detected in one of the caves in Berel, which was excavated by Wilhelm Radloff in 1865. In the deep hole in the center of a fiction with this feature are located defined rooms built from wooden thumbs. In the wooden defined rooms and a single piece of stumbled wooden layer, humans and many horse tombs have been found. However, due to the lack of sufficient conservation of the methods of extraction and archaeological findings of time, human and horse tombs in question have not been preserved. Later, the sculptures in the Berel Valley have not been thoroughly excavated and studied for 150 years. This situation changed in 1998 with Prof. Dr. Zainolla Samashev’s team in the framework of the Eastern Kazakhstan Archaeological Expedition began to carry out large-scale excavations in Berel. 10 and 11. The phenomenon of permafrost (permafrost) layers found in the kurgan has enabled artworks made of organic materials that are not protected in the ordinary kurgan, as well as the remains of humans and horses to be reached and studied to the present day. This study examines and examines the murders of the periods of Iskit/Saka, Hun, Hsiyen-pi and Göktürk in the context of the dead burial traditions. The similarities revealed as a result of anthropological research and assessments on the dead burial traditions provide evidence of the fact of cultural continuity or continuity from the Iskit period to the Göktürk period.
