Abstract
The article presents an early medieval burial excavated in the Ak-Dag complex by an expedition led by M.Kh. Mannai-ool in 1963. This site is located 4 km northwest to the Aldan-Maadyr village, in the Sut-Khol district of the Tyva Republic. The studied object was a burial mound of a man with a horse. The fixed common features of this complex (a small rounded mound; a shallow grave; the orientation of the deceased to the east, accompanied by an animal laid in the opposite direction), as well as rarer characteristics (intra-grave structure in the form of a stone box made of thin slabs; the position of the horse on the back) indicate on its belonging to the circle of sites of the early medieval Turks. The absence of dating finds makes it possible to determine the chronology of the burial within the broad framework of the second half of the 1st millennium AD with a possible narrowing within the second half of the 6th - 8th centuries AD.
