Abstract:
The article discusses the archaeological finds discovered during the Botay
Archaeological expedition in 2020. The main goal of the Botay Archaeological
expedition was to find a burial ground where the ancient inhabitants of the Botay
culture could bury their dead. During 40 years of international research, no mass
graves have yet been found on the Botay settlement and other settlements of the
Botay Culture. And it remains a mystery where and how the ancient Botay people
buried their dead. The Botay culture is known for the first evidence of the
domestication of the steppe horse and the construction of multi-faceted rounded
dwellings. The authors highlight the results of the Botay Archaeological expedition
in 2020, the main goal of which was to search for burial grounds and burials to
solve important scientific problems.
