Abstract
The article publishes the results of monitoring of five single kurgans located in the vicinity of the Stepnoy village of the Ust-Kalmansky district of Altai Territory, conducted by the Steppe detachment of the archaeological expedition of Altai State Pedagogical University in 2020. The last documented work on these sites was carried out more than 30 years ago. Comparison of the known and newly obtained data on the parameters and state of visible ground structures made it possible to come to the conclusion about a satisfactory trend in the preservation of objects of historical and cultural heritage. The main factors affecting the mounds are anthropogenic, associated with systematic plowing of the floor of the mounds, and exogenous - weathering. The surviving parameters of the mounds are in many respects similar to the studied burial complexes of the steppe zone of the Altai Territory. Based on the peculiarities of the location of the mounds on the ground and their external parameters, the necropolises can be tentatively dated to the middle - second half of the 1st millennium BC. Keywords: single mounds, monitoring, early Iron Age
