A detachment of the Shulba expedition of the Institute of History, Archeology and Ethnography of the Academy of Sciences of the Kazakh SSR conducted work on the Dzhartas burial ground in the Tavri district of the East Kazakhstan region. The cemetery includes enclosures of the Andronovo culture and chains of burial mounds from the era of the early nomads. Structures were studied, the cultural and chronological belonging of which could not be established before the excavations. Five such objects have been discovered.

One of them (with a destroyed ground structure) contained three burials. An unrobbed female burial of the Andronovo period was made in a crouched position on its side, head to the west, subrectangular (1.35x0.95x1.20 m) in soil pit, oriented with a long axis from west to east. An oval pit partially covered this burial with a lining oriented with a long axis from northeast to southwest and containing a looted male burial, committed in an extended position on the back, with the head to the west-southwest. The dimensions of the entrance well are 2.25 x 1.40 m; goal to the northeast, in an oval pit (1.20x0.75x0.80 m). The last two burials are without inventory; a vessel with a fir-tree ornament and a bronze earring with a bell were found in the Andronovo grave.

Another burial of the Andronovo culture was unearthed in an object, the ground structure of which was the collapse of several different types of structures containing burials of different times. It was located in a rectangular cist (2.65x2.00x1.00 m) in the southwestern part of the object under a continuous laying out of chipped slabs, framed by large stones. The north-eastern part of the ground structure of the Andronovo grave is disturbed by a burial of the 8th-10th centuries with cremation in an oval pit (1.50x1.05x0.55 m). The latter is also destroyed. The remains of grave goods were found in it: iron arrowheads, an ax, a knife, bronze belt plates with floral ornaments made in the “Kyrgyz” style, and bone art products. The unlooted cenotaph grave, unearthed 1 km from the previous site also belonged to the 8th-9th centuries. This is a square (4x4 m) in a fence made of slabs laid flat in one layer with an oval pit (1.70x0.80x0.65 m) in the center, where a saber, arrowheads, bone linings for a bow were found at the bottom near the southwestern wall and a bit with eight-shaped endings.

We note the burial of the first half of the II millennium AD, committed in an oval-shaped pit (2.50x1.15x1.00 m), wholly clogged with large stones, in the center of a low, oval-shaped enclosure. The position of the buried is extended on his back, with his head to the east - northeast. A bit and stirrups are placed at the feet of the deceased, along the left side there is a quiver with triangular arrowheads and an archaic bone girth buckle with a sharp “nose”.
