ABOUT ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCHES OF THE BESINSHITOBE Tomb in 2020

   This article examines the results of archaeological research at the Besinshitobe settlement, located in the Otrar oasis. The main object of the settlement is a monumental structure erected at the beginning of the 1st millennium AD. e. during the period of the Kangyui state. Over time, the building was abandoned. In the subsequent time, the local population of different eras began to make burials on the hill. At present, the excavations of the Besinshitobe settlement, in addition to the Kanguy period, are also devoted to the identification of late burials. Studies of the burials of the upper horizon of the hill are important in order to obtain new additional information about the funeral rituals and cults of the inhabitants of the Otrar oasis. Discovered finds from excavation sites provide archaeologists with valuable data. The article describes in detail the burials discovered in 2020 and substantiates their dating and religious affiliation.
