Abstract

This paper, based on documentary evidence, reconstructs the history of the discovery and investigation of the first monument of the Begazy-Dandybay culture – structure no. 11 at the cemetery of Dandybay by M. P. Gryaznov in Central Kazakhstan. An entire series of archive documents concerned with the causes of M. P. Gryaznov’s participation in the Nura expedition of the State Academy of the History of Material Culture (GAIMK), the conditions in which the expedition itself was working and the first attempt made by Gryaznov at the scientific interpretation of the site discovered by him are here first published. The publication is illustrated by amateur photos of the working moments taken during the excavations by one of the scientific workers of the expedition and facsimiles of the documents related with the expedition works.
