The article presents materials from studied burial monuments of the Andronovo period of the Bronze Age in the Shu-Ile interfluve. Regularities in the placement of burial grounds within the structure of Bronze Age archaeological complexes are identified, and the features of burial traditions are examined. Cultural and chronological attribution of artifact and ceramic assemblages is provided. The development of the culture of the ancient population in the Shu-Ile Mountains is linked to the migration of Alakul-Atasu groups from Central Kazakhstan in the early 2nd millennium BCE and their interaction with the local population, whose cultural traditions were predominantly characterized by Fedorovo-Nurin features of the Andronovo community. Early and late stages of the Andronovo chronological horizon are distinguished in the development of ancient cultures. The analysis of materials from burial complexes suggests that this region was one of the key areas in the system of ancient communications and the economic and cultural development of the populations of the Central Kazakhstan steppes and the foothill zone of Northern Tian Shan.
