The article discusses the archaeological finds discovered during the Botai
Archaeological expedition in 2020. The main goal of the Botai Archaeological
expedition was to find a burial ground where the ancient inhabitants of the Botai
culture could bury their dead. During 40 years of international research, no mass
graves have yet been found on the Botai settlement and other settlements of the Botai
Culture. And it remains a mystery where and how the ancient Botai people buried
their dead. The Botai culture is known for the first evidence of the domestication
of the steppe horse and the construction of multi-faceted rounded dwellings. The
authors highlight the results of the Botai Archaeological expedition in 2020, the main
goal of which was to search for burial grounds and burials to solve critical scientific
problems.
