Abstract
The article publishes the results of monitoring of burial mounds located in the Ust’-Kalmansky, Loktevsky and Shipunovsky districts of the Altai Territory, conducted by the Steppe Detachment of the archaeological expedition of the Altai State Pedagogical University in 2020–2022. The last documented work on these monuments was carried out more than 30 years ago. A comparison of the known and newly obtained data on the parameters and condition of visible ground structures allowed us to conclude that there is a satisfactory tendency to preserve objects of historical and cultural heritage. The main factors affecting the mounds remain anthropogenic, associated with the systematic plowing of the floor of the mounds, and exogenous — weathering. The surviving parameters of the mounds are largely similar to the studied burial complexes of the foothill and steppe zones of the Altai Territory.
