Abstract
This article is devoted to the analysis of the preliminary results of the study of materials obtained during the excavations of the cult-memorial (memorial) complex Eleke sazy in Eastern Kazakhstan. The characteristic of the recorded stone constructions and found objects of material culture is given. The basic attention is given to the image of Turkic Kaganate embodied in the products concerning toreutics (art metal of small forms). It is concluded that Yelekesazin complex was built on the place where a body of the dead “appanage” Khaganate, who apparently belonged to a younger branch of “golden” Ashin dynasty, was burnt. The headquarters of this ruler could be nearby in the northern foothills of Tarbagatai. Further archaeological research will allow supplementing and clarifying the outlined historical, cultural and socio-political reconstruction.
