Not stopping at a more detailed examination of these figures (as they should be the subject of a separate study), we note only that you can confidently talk about their uniqueness and the absence of precise analogies among them multi for numerous monuments of ancient rock art, spread on a wide area and probably, of their early dating.
In 1988 and 1989. Keden in the cemetery have been excavated 30 mounds, including 8 large - "the king" type, which gave an entirely new type of burial for the territory of Kyr camp.

Monuments of the early nomads Seven Rivers, and Tien Shan were first investigated vye ANBernshtam in 1944 and then in 1945, 1949. (Bershptam, 1951, 1952) and continued in the Tien Shan, AK Kibirov in 1953-1955. (Kibirov, 1955, 1959) and in the Seven Rivers CA Akishev. In 1981 was organized by the Tien-Shan Institute of History of the archaeological team of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic, under the leadership of KI Tashbayeva to resume work in re gion.

In this regard, our work differ somewhat in recent years, when possible, dissected the entire whole group or a large part of it, which gave a more complete representation tion about each of the complexes and in general the culture of these nomads wounds Tien Shan.
