Abstract

This article is devoted to results of studies of the last years of the monuments of the early nomads of the Ilek local microdistrict of the Aral-Mugaljar region. Beginning in 2015, systematic studies of the monuments of early nomads in the vicinity of Rodnikovka
village of Martuk district of the Aktobe region are conducted. This group of monuments is belong to the Ilek river basin and is allocated to the corresponding microdistrict. Studies of the recent years of burial mounds in the burial grounds of Bisoba, Shpaki, Kurasha and Kaiynbulak, as well as materials obtained in the 1960-1980s, allow us to speak about the significant concentration of the population and the elite character of the nomadic groups that lived in the middle of I millennium BC in the Ilek local microdistrict. Significant sizes of objects like found bronze boilers, cast items of horse harness, stone altars, armaments and much more are bright signs of the dominant group in the region.
