The article reviews materials of the early Iron Age Urysai-2 burial mound kurgans study. In total, three emergency kurgans were excavated at the burial ground (No. 5, 13, 14). Structures made of soil blocks and wood were found under the hillock of kurgans. The burials were made with the use of fire, the burial pits are large and underground. There were studied five burials, from where 10 individuals originate: eight of them belong to soldiers, one to a woman and one to a child. The main part of them is oriented with their heads to the south, southwest, southeast. Burials from Urysai-2 burial ground date from the end of the 6th – beginning of the 5th century BC and belong to the military elite of the early nomadic society, a woman who performed priestly functions, and a child. The gender identity of the woman was determined by the results of the analysis of the subjects accompanying set.
