The article examines the results of archaeological research at the Aksu burial ground. Excavations have studied over 10 objects of historical and cultural heritage. Radiocarbon dating results were obtained for two of these objects, indicating their affiliation with the Late Saka and Early Turkic periods. A comparative-typological analysis was conducted for all objects based on the available materials and the characteristics of the burial rites, comparing them with materials from Zhetysu, East Kazakhstan, Altai, Tuva, and Kyrgyzstan. The analyses confirmed that the female burial from Kurgan No. 8 belongs to the Early Turkic period.
