In 1934, after being transferred to the Oirot Regional Museum, the researcher unearthed two mounds of the Scythian-Saka period at this burial ground. According to the characteristics of the funeral rite and grave goods, the necropolis under consideration, with a high degree of probability, belongs to the Bystryan culture of the northern foothills of Altai. Currently, on the right bank of the Katun, in the vicinity of the designated village, three burial grounds of the community under consideration(Maima VI, VII, XIX) are known, however, all of them are located east of the Chuisky tract,while the indicated monument is located to the west of it. Perhaps S. M. Sergeev recorded another burial ground of the Bystryanskaya culture, which is now not preserved, located on the territory of the Maiminsky archaeological complex.
